WILLIAM Gormly

 

Favorite Part of Job: I love the working for myself. It comes with its own stresses to be sure, but nothing beats the freedom of living and dying by your decisions.

Most Inspiring Mentor: My father has consistently been right my whole life. As much as it pains me to give him so much credit, I humbly submit to his experience.

Tell us something fun about yourself that few people know: I once considered myself the top women's shoe salesman in the state of Vermont. I have no concrete evidence to support this claim.

Favorite Vermont Escape: Camping at the Chittenden Reservoir

Favorite downtime activity: Tuesday night bar trivia

Favorite Social Media:Facebook...but it's a love hate relationship

Person you would like to share a Vermont beverage with: Larry David
