Residence: Chittenden
Career highlight you are most proud of:
The career highlight I'm most proud of is helping to open the first new bank in Vermont in over 30 years. A new bank is not something that happens everyday, navigating the regulatory requirements and raising the capital to open was challenging but ultimately very rewarding. 
There was a need in Vermont for a different kind of bank and the response we have received has been exceptional.
Community Involvement:
My community involvement includes serving on the board of directors for the Flynn Theater, helping to spread awareness and support for performing arts in Vermont. 
I serve as the alumni representative on the UVM student athlete advisory board, helping to support the student athletes and athletic administration. I serve on the UVM Foundation Leadership Council. I also volunteer as a soccer coach for Shelburne Recreation.
What motivated you to live and work in Vermont?

Favorite part of your job:
My favorite part of my job is the people. From the people I have the privilege of working with and learning from to the customers I get to help, it is the most rewarding part of my job.
What is the best career advice you have received?
The best career advice I have received is to always lead with integrity and you can't make the wrong decision.
