He was a member of the Danbury Police Explorers (now Danbury Police Cadets) and embraced their mission to positively impact our community through volunteerism and leadership. He is also a past Board Member of the Danbury Museum and Historical Society, a food and toy drive organizer, and he served on the City Council from 2019 – 2021. Before being elected as Danbury’s 32nd Mayor, Roberto spent 12 years at Cartus as a Technical Sales Engineer.

Mayor Alves is a Danbury Public Schools graduate, a devoted husband, and father of two young children, Catalina and Julius.
