Born in Rhode Island, I am the youngest of five brothers. Growing up in a clergy family, I spent my early years moving from place to place from Vermont to Massachusetts to Virginia. I continued that trend after high school when I enlisted in the United States Coast Guard, returning again to Rhode Island and Massachusetts as a member of a search and rescue team. During my time in the Coast Guard I had the pleasure of traveling around the United States and further as part of an aviation detachment. I know firsthand what it's like to relocate a family.
After serving for 10 years in the Coast Guard, I sought to find a more permanent home for my family. I joined the Vermont State Police and settled in West Rutland in 2001. I became very involved in the community especially with youth athletics and served for many years as a coach and President of the Board of Directors for the Rutland Amateur Hockey Association. Although my children are grown (JT graduated from WVU, is married and has two children; Caitlynn is a junior at Virginia Tech), I wasnt able to shake that volunteer spirit and continue to volunteer as a youth mountain bike instructor for the Rutland Recreation Department.
In 2010 I left the state police and joined the sales team at Aldermans Chevrolet Buick GMC. After spending a short time as a salesman, I began my new role as Sales Manager. Realizing my affinity for finding the right match for clients from the resources available I return to school and focused on business management and the real estate field.
After spending a few years learning from the best and brightest in the business the next chapter began. First I acquired my brokers license and then I opened my first brokerage. RE/MAX Summit will service the Rutland County area which includes the winter wonderland of Killington and the pearl of the lake region, Lake Bomoseen.
Though the family is shrinking, I still reside in Rutland Town with my fianc Jodi, and our two youngest children, Stella and Dierdre, and our labrador Bear.
The rest, as they say, is history.
