About
am an entrepreneurial leader with more than 28 years of experience building and operating successful businesses, leading large teams, and delivering complex projects from concept to execution. I founded and ran a sustainable custom home construction company for nearly three decades, where I routinely led 50 to 75 employees per project and was responsible for strategy, operations, budgeting, client relations, and brand development. Through this work, I delivered high-end residential projects while prioritizing efficiency, environmental responsibility, and long-term value.
In addition to my professional background, I serve on the board of Mutt Society, where I help direct marketing initiatives that support community access, youth engagement, and positive social impact. I am also an active volunteer with Patagonia Action Works, supporting grassroots environmental organizations through creative services, campaign collaboration, and field-based projects. My work includes helping organizations build confidence around budgeting and financial decision-making, assisting with volunteer mobilization and outreach across New England, and contributing to digital advocacy efforts focused on climate protection.
My public service experience includes being elected as a Selectman for the Town of Alexandria, New Hampshire, from 2014 to 2017, where I served on the town’s executive board overseeing municipal operations, budgeting, infrastructure, and long-term planning. I also served on the Alexandria Planning Board from 2010 to 2014, reviewing development proposals, updating land-use policies, and working with local stakeholders to balance rural character with sustainable growth. Across every role I have held, I am motivated by purpose-driven work, clear communication, and building organizations that create durable value for both people and the environment.
