An Alumnus of Fryeburg Academy in Fryeburg ME, he graduated from Bentley University in 2019 with a double Major in Economics-Finance & Global Studies. After a brief stint in Boston, he returned home to Maine in 2021 to be closer to the mountains and lakes. He currently lives and work in Portland ME as a Logistics Coordinator for a regional trucking and freight services company, and spends the majority of time skiing between St. Anton Austria and Sugarloaf/Sunday River ME. Aside from skiing, his passions include hiking, traveling, fishing, and I am also an avid soccer fan.
