About
That work has taken me well beyond Pomfret. When a landslide cut my town in half, I helped secure more than half a million dollars in state aid. When neighbors faced dangerously long 911 response times, I negotiated a regional partnership with Hartford that cut those times by up to eight minutes.
The Mountain Views school bond campaign brought me into conversations with families across seven towns and through our BOCES partnerships into Hartford, Windsor, West Windsor, Hartland, and Weathersfield. I drafted the Volunteer Protection Act with Senator Clarkson, because the people who step up to serve on boards, fight fires, and run our nonprofits deserve to know the law has their back.
I am running for the Senate because Windsor County’s twenty-five towns deserve a voice in Montpelier that doesn’t get drowned out by the loudest voices in the room. Windsor County deserves a voice that bridges the gap between the laws that get passed and the roads, schools, and communities where those laws hit the ground.
The people closest to a problem usually understand it best. They don’t need someone from Montpelier to explain their lives to them. They need a senator who shows up, pays attention, and recognizes that none of us has all the answers. But by working together, we can find them.
My wife Katie and I put down roots in Windsor County looking for exactly what has become hard to find – a place to raise a family and belong to a real community.
We found it here in North Pomfret, where days are measured in bushels and bales, and where being a good neighbor is still second nature.
I’ve spent seven years learning Windsor County from the ground up. As an auditor, zoning board member, and Selectboard chair in Pomfret, I’ve been under the hood of local government — breaking down budgets, choreographing road repairs, solving problems alongside neighbors. In my law practice, I've spent years navigating the kind of regulatory and policy frameworks that shape what state government can and can't do. I’ve learned what happens when state laws meet our back roads, and what it takes to make them work.
