He earned his law degree from the Syracuse University College of Law in 2017. McGarry also holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from SUNY Potsdam in 2015. He was born in Syracuse and currently resides in Cicero.

Palmer earned her law degree from the Syracuse University College of Law. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in history from the University at Buffalo. She is a member of the Northern District of New York Federal Court Bar Association. Palmer was born in Buffalo and now resides in Syracuse.
