I am a 4rd Generation native to the Upper Valley, born and raised here. I grew up in the Hartford, Lebanon and Hanover area, primarily in Enfield. I have lived in Hartford since being hired by the Fire Department in 1992, currently for the past 25+ years in Wilder. I have a wife and teenage sone. For over 3 decades, I have dedicated myself to defending your interests. My journey started on the front lines as a firefighter, a role that taught me the necessity of staying until every challenge is overcome. This resolve guided my leadership as President of the Professional Firefighters of Vermont, where I championed worker safety and dignity. I remain a staunch advocate for our families, prioritizing affordability and governmental transparency. Having navigated the same economic struggles as my neighbors, I lead with practical experience rather than political ambition. I am a proven public servant committed to preserving our rural heritage and securing a prosperous path for all future Vermonters through honest leadership. I am a working class person who thrives on addressing problems and issues with a common sense approach with common sense solutions.
