Favorite Part of Job: I enjoy the wide variety of people and their business that I work with throughout Vermont. It is exciting to build new relationships with excellent farmers and business people that you otherwise would not.
Most Inspiring Mentor: I have been influenced by many great mentors in my life, most notably my father, and both of my 
grandfathers. They are/were all leaders in their communities and men of excellent character providing clear guidance from an early age.

Favorite downtime activity: Watching the Patriots game on Sunday.
