Favorite Part of Job? The ever-changing nature of construction - different job sites, different materials, different job scope, new technologies, the opportunity to learn something new every day. Being active and using tools to create something tangible and useful that remains after I leave the job.

Tell us something fun about yourself that few people know: I worked as an Au Pair in Austria for a year and traveled throughout Europe and the Balkans.

Favorite Vermont Escape: Driving across the sandbar to the Champlain Islands tends to bring me a sense of peace and calm.

Favorite Downtime Activity: Nature walks and gardening.

Person you would like to share a Vermont beverage with: All my friends who are near and far!
