Community Involvement:
Active in KeyBank’s United Way Committee that oversees Key’s annual fundraising activities. Completed term in Lyndon State College’s Alumni Council.

Mentor Family for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Fletcher Allen.
Favorite Part of Job: I love working with my customers, especially when they have an issue or problem that I can assist with. There is nothing more satisfying to me then seeing my Clients succeed and knowing that I was able to be a part of their team.
Most Inspiring Mentor: I have been lucky in my career that I have often been able to find people with experience who were not only willing to take me under their wing, but to give me opportunities to put my knowledge to the test. I would be remiss to choose just one, there have been several that have helped me along the way with advice and guidance when needed, and sometimes just a good smack upside my head.
Living Hero: It’s difficult to pick just one when I think there are so many acts of heroism in our daily loves. I think anyone that gives a piece of themselves in order to make one, or many lives better is a hero. It’s so easy these days to find stories of the negative, when I think there is a growing amount of people out there that are giving their all to make the world a better place regardless of the cost to them, and I consider that heroic.
Favorite Downtime Activity: I am a Hot Air Balloon pilot, so when the weather cooperates there is nothing I like more then floating over the hills of Vermont and taking in the scenery. When the weather is not as cooperative, I love spending time with my wife and twin sons and enjoying a good movie.
Favorite Vermont Escape: Being a bit of a history nut, I love wandering through the Vermont Historical Society in Barre and taking in the exhibits. I love getting lost in the lives of people that have come before us and its not uncommon for me to loose several hours there.
Favorite Social Network: I will admit, by the time my day is done, I am usually tired of a Computer and as such, am not as active in the Social Networks as some of my friends. I do use Linkedin to develop my professional network and catching up with Co-Workers from over the years.
Vermont Business Person: I would love to meet the management team of Dealer.com. The level of success they have experienced in the last few years is absolutely amazing, and I would love to pick their brains and hear their whole story of how they started, where they are now and what’s coming next. I very much respect their dedication to Vermont and would love to hear their thoughts on doing business here and the challenges they face. Lastly, I’m always game for a good game of Ping Pong if their recreation facility is still equipped with a couple of tables!
