My favorite part of this type of work is the chance to be creative with an otherwise really technical kind of platform.

My journey has been winding and filled with many life experiences. I think taking different paths, while keeping true to who I am, is what’s brought me here.

Outside of work, I’d say my pride and joy is surfing, but I also enjoy fly-fishing, gardening, cooking.
What inspired you to work for Sebago Technics?

My favorite thing to do in Maine has a beach day, salt or freshwater, I’m impartial.

It’s not necessarily a whole meal, but I could have a PB&J every day.
If you were an animal what would you be and why?
If I were an animal, I’d want to be a bear. because if I were a bear, I could wander the mountains and the coast, be an omnivore, and sleep away the worst of winter.

A dream vacation for me would be Portugal.
Favorite Holiday and why?
My favorite holiday is thanksgiving because for me the holidays are about sharing good food with the people we care about most.
What is the best concert you attended?
The best concert, I saw Ray LaMontagne a few years ago. We had seats up close and he’s one of my favorite artists, so to have that experience was the best.

For me, enjoying the outdoors with friends and family means good music, good food, and a fire after the sun goes down.
