ISSUES/ BIO
Many major state initiatives place inequitable burdens on small towns and villages. And yet these towns and villages are what make Vermont, Vermont. We have many of the same goals as Chittenden County, whether it’s cleaning up Lake Champlain, improving schools, expanding access to child care, or appropriate taxation, but my plan was to filter all of these issues through the lens of the distinct, overlooked needs of our small, volunteer-dominated municipalities. And to work on issues that had the most impact for Calais, Marshfield and Plainfield.
I moved to Vermont with my spouse in 2005 and since 2007 we've owned and operated a wholesale flower operation (30 acres of lilac, peony and snowball viburnum). My spouse, Erica, also worked at Capstone Community Action until July of this year (2022). I graduated from Dartmouth College.
I have served on the Plainfield Selectboard, as Road Commissioner, as Plainfield Rep for the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission and on the board of CVTV. I have also served on the Plainfield Planning Committee & the Hazard Mitigation Committee.

My number one priority was & is communication and outreach. I want to keep people informed about what is happening.
Either we all count or no one does.
