What is your favorite thing about your career? 
Working with such a diverse group of businesses in a broad swath of industries is what I love most. While most people can claim no two days are alike, I may deal in financial services, juvenile products, tech start-ups and hospitality all in the course of a few hours.

 As a 2020 Executive Board member, what's the one thing you're most looking forward to working on or hoping to achieve? 
Helping drive the 2020 plan, which is so key to the region’s future. 

What was the last great book you read? or a favorite movie/TV show you'd recommend? 
The funniest program I’ve seen in sometime is Schitt’s Creek. There’s such a richness to the characters who at first offensive, turn endearing. It’s crass, clever and compelling all at once.​

​
What is your favorite thing about your career? 
I’m incredibly fortunate to maintain a career with many distinct roles, responsibilities and people. As the CEO and General Counsel for Atlantic Mechanical, I spend my time building the systems, client base and brand of the company while managing our teams and handling policy decisions.  I serve in a similar role with Gratta Property Management, however, I spend more time on real estate development, zoning/property law, and financing projects. Every day is a little different for me, and I’d say that’s my favorite part of my career. 

As a 2020 Executive Board member, what's the one thing you're most looking forward to working on or hoping to achieve? 
The Chamber, along with the SSEDC, do so much for the community, and while its reputation is rather sterling, I don’t think enough people realize the size of the impact we create. I’d like to see the recognition and funding become more commensurate with the missions and accomplishments of the Chamber. And we can do that through more concise messaging, which Jill Donovan has already made tremendous progress on, and more focused programming/events.  

What was the last great book you read? or a favorite movie/TV show you'd recommend? 
Right now I’m in the middle of a book called Sapiens which is excellent. It’s essentially the history of human beings from a scientific perspective. As far as TV goes I’m a Seinfeld fanatic- there will never be a better sitcom.

My wish is that the Chamber's successes and missions be better reflected in the funds and accolades it receives.
