current fiscal situation may neces-
sitate cuts in various areas of the

Sherman is a graduate of the
University of Michigan (B.A. with
high honors in Hebrew and Judaic
Studies, 1988) and of the Wayne State

practice in Farmington Hills.
Sherman served for two years as a
certified instructor in the U.S. Coast
Guard Auxiliary. He has served as
a volunteer youth basketball coach
at the Jewish Community Center of

as a member of the governing board
