About Me

I am a lifelong Massachusetts resident, having grown up just north of Boston. In 2017, my wife, Melissa, and I moved our family to Groveland based on the enthusiastic recommendation of a longtime friend and coworker who has lived here for years. It was one of the best decisions we ever made, and we are proud to call Groveland home.

 

Together with our three children (ages 11 and 7-year-old twins) and our goldendoodle, Bentley, we actively participate in town events, activities, and community service. Volunteering has always been an important part of our lives, and we take every opportunity to contribute to local boards, committees, and service initiatives.

 

One of the things that struck us most when we moved here nearly eight years ago was how welcoming the community was. We quickly made friends, felt at home, and became deeply connected to the town. That sense of belonging and community is something I want to help preserve and strengthen for all Groveland residents.

Professional Background

I have worked in cybersecurity for over 20 years, helping businesses of all sizes—as well as state and local governments—stay ahead of today’s most critical technology challenges. My career has given me extensive experience in leadership, collaboration, contract negotiation, budget management, and project management, all of which are essential skills for serving on the Groveland Select Board.

​

In both leadership and individual contributor roles, I have developed a strong ability to think critically, problem-solve effectively, and manage complex projects—all while ensuring that budgets and resources are used wisely.

​

Key Skills:

  • Leadership & Collaboration 

  • Critical Thinking & Problem-Solving

  • Contract & Budget Management

  • Project Management & Strategic Planning

Community Involvement & Interests

When I’m not cheering on my kids at their activities, I enjoy reading, weightlifting, gaming, and walking Bentley around our neighborhood.

 

As a family, we dedicate a significant amount of time to volunteering because we believe it fosters a sense of responsibility, connection, and civic engagement—not just in ourselves but in our children as well. Giving back to the community is something we are passionate about, and it’s a value we live by every day.

 

I am committed to ensuring that Groveland remains a town where families thrive, residents feel heard, and decisions are made with the best interests of the entire community in mind. I would be honored to serve on the Groveland Select Board and work alongside my neighbors to keep our town a place we are all proud to call home.
