I have been a licensed real estate agent since 1988 and have helped find a home for many of his neighbors and his neighbors' next generation of children in Lincoln County. I have been a part of over 450 sales helping buyers and sellers over the years, but it is first-time homebuyers that keep me going.

It is no surprise that people continue to move to beautiful Lincoln County./ However, as the population grows, so does the need for housing. If we want the next generation to put down roots in our towns and continue driving prosperity, we need to find solutions for our resident's most pressing issues, including affordable housing.

I grew up lobstering with his father in South Bristol. I graduated from Lincoln Academy before earning my Marine Engineer’s License through the US Coast Guard at Southern Maine Vocational School (now Southern Maine Community College). I worked as a Marine Engineer on cargo ships, oil tankers and passenger ships for 11 years before retiring from seagoing to start a family with his wife Lynn.

I'm no stranger to public service. I have am now on the board of directors for The Damariscotta Region Chamber of Commerce and for The Citizens Advisory Committee to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. I am the former board member of the Central Lincoln County YMCA, Lincoln Academy Alumni Association and have served on many committees and officer positions in the Realtor Organization.

In 2018, my wife Lynn and I bought the vacant Jefferson Market building in Jefferson village. We remodeled the store adding windows, a new deck and kitchen and, together with my family, we reopened it as the Jefferson Market & General store in April of 2021.

Lynn and my son Caleb run the day to day operation with made to order breakfast, lunch and dinner. It also serves as a small grocery store and features products made in the surrounding communities supporting the local economy.

But, to keep our towns alive, we must rebuild Main Street and support the local businesses that keep this county afloat. Whether it’s a grocery store in Jefferson, a carpentry shop in Alna, a bank in Wiscasset, or a farm in Whitefield, this campaign is about the people and their businesses who are the fabric of our community. I will do whatever I can to bring common-sense policy ideas to Augusta that will help our neighbors back home prosper.
