Settling in the area

My parents moved to the Monadnock region 30 years ago. My wife Amy & I fell in love with the area too and bought our Francestown house in 2015. I have two brothers who have put down roots in the Monadnock area as well.


Amy & I raised our family in a small town north of Boston. We are empty-nesters now, with three adult children – two daughters and a son. We moved to Francestown because we love rural living and the like-minded neighbors who enjoy living here too.      

Work Experience

At the end of 2025 I retired from a 40-year business career. 


My professional background is in municipal finance - the bond markets where local governments finance public schools, clean water systems, hospitals, roads, and other essential community infrastructure.


That experience gives me practical expertise in the process, politics, and economics of how states, cities and towns make the responsible long-term financial decision that protect affordability and quality of life.   

In the community

It is a pleasure for me to volunteer locally as a member of the Francestown Budget Advisory Committee and as a board member of the Francestown Land Trust. In 2023 I completed the UNH Extension Coverts Program, which trains volunteers in forest stewardship.


Presently, I am a Business Fellow at Purdue University’s Mitch Daniels School of Business. Before I retired, I served for 14 years on the advisory committee for the bipartisan Brookings Institute’s Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy Annual Municipal Finance Conference.  I volunteered for 8 years on the governing board of a school I attended in Canada and I am currently the President of that school’s U.S. Scholarship Foundation. 

In my free time...

I have a life-long love of backpacking and canoeing, which I have done across the Northeast and Ontario. It's a big part of why I love living here. 

I still explore and enjoy our area's endless network of trails and waterways.  

My dad loved fishing and shooting, skills he tried to pass on to my brothers and me.  I inherited his enthusiasm, but not necessarily the skills.
