I was born and raised in Rhode Island, graduating high school from LaSalle Academy in Providence, RI. growing up around Narragansett Bay where many family members and lasting friends still reside. It was there that I first developed a love of the coast and about 5 miles inland.
I then was fortunate to go on to Washington, DC to attend Georgetown University, spending my junior year at the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO, then graduating from Georgetown University with a degree in Philosophy. All four years were a great experience and prepared me well for what was awaiting me.
At that point as a young college graduate I was facing a few choices, city or rural, mountains or coastline, could both be possible? It was an easy choice when Mount Desert Island came up on my radar for it had it all. I was in......the middle of a National Park. Who knew?
Yes, I quickly settled on beautiful Mount Desert Island, the home to Acadia National Park in 1973. I quickly made lasting friends whose company, stories, business and help I still enjoy today.
I started out in the local building trades as a carpenter then became a building contractor, ultimately building a career in the real estate business of brokerage and residential appraisal. l am a long time Somesville resident in the town of Mount Desert. I am fortunate to have lived or worked in all four towns here on Mount Desert Island.
I owned and operated my own real estate brokerage firm, Maine Real Estate Exchange, in Southwest Harbor for 10 years, served as local REALTOR Board President and was named REALTOR of the Year back in 1987. I have worked in the residential and commercial fields with a real estate career that now spans over 30 years here on Mount Desert Island.
My last 15 year years have been spent as a Real Estate Broker at The Swan Agency Sotheby's International Realty with my office right next to the post office in Bar Harbor. Through all my adult years here on Mount Desert Island I have gain a wealth of experience, friends and stories that I willingly shared with others in their quest to invest their time, talent, leisure hours and riches becoming part of the scenery of Mount Desert Island, the gem of the Coast of Maine.
Do not hesitate to contact me with your real estate needs and any questions on the area for I would gladly share my knowledge developed over my 40 years here on Mount Desert Island and the continuing coastline Downeast and to the westward.
