Favorite part of job? I enjoy interacting with intelligent motivated people, both clients and coworkers on a day to day basis.
Most inspiring mentor? Alec Newcomb our Chief Strategy Officer at MyWebGrocer, he is an amazing visionary & thought leader in all things digital.
Who is your living hero? Peter White, my high school Urban Studies teacher who founded the club called Students for 60,000. Students for 60,000 (SF60K) is a Northport high club founded in 1987 that is dedicated to providing aid care and support for the needy. Students participate in trips to homeless shelters and underfunded schools in New York City, where students can interact with people and deliver supplies. SF60K also takes trips to Nicaragua, to build houses, teach in the schools, and deliver clothes, school and medical supplies. On this trip students can also experience third world poverty, and interact with and understand the people who live there.

Favorite Vermont Escape? Boyden Valley Winery; quality of Napa with the scenery of Vermont!

Vermont Business Person you would most want to network with? Oh that's a hard one, I'm a big networker! The Burlington Young Professionals, Green Drinks & the Chamber offer so many great opportunities to network, although I've never met the CEO's of GMCR or Seventh Gen.
