A real estate agent since 1979, I have actively listed and sold residential and commercial investment properties in northern Vermont since that time. A Stowe resident since 1969, my late wife Bunny and I raised three children, educated them in the Stowe school system and between all of them have been blessed with many grandchildren.

For 17 years I was police chief in Stowe, retiring in 1992. And for 20 years, I coached softball and basketball in high school and little league softball during the summer, winning 10 state titles in softball. I'm also very active in the local and national Boy Scouts of America.

I mention all this so you will feel my depth of knowledge and my commitment to Stowe and the surrounding area. Simply stated, I think it's the best place in the world to raise a family.

Having served as the president of the Vermont Association of Realtors in 2003 and 2016, I became active in the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and continue to serve NAR in a number of roles as a member of the board of directors and on various committees. I'm involved in the Associated Realty of the Americas, helping market and grow this real estate referral network throughout North America. All this national exposure, along with my 2006 role as the national chair for the Global, Resort and Second Homes Committee of NAR, provides me with many contacts and connections from around the world.
