I hope to share my passion for learning and my commitment to the importance of community. I believe that we as the construction/energy industry will make major strides in the next 5 years in widely adopting many of the strategies long discussed in the NESEA community. NESEA will hopefully play a major role in supporting this adoption and I hope to support NESEA in succeeding in that role.

I starting attending the Boston NESEA conference in 2003 and was instantly hooked by the opportunity to learn from experienced practitioner who were willing to share both successes and, more importantly, failures. I served as the BE Boston Co-Vice Chair and then Conference Chair in 2014 and 2015, have written two articles for the BE Magazine. Most recently as a member of the Board, I chaired the development of NESEA's 5 year strategic plan, released in 2022.

I hope to help this community in supporting educational opportunities and providing space for us to meet each other and form lasting relationships.

The most important word to me in our NESEA mission statement is "community". I want to focus on making sure that NESEA has the tools in place to successfully continue to strengthen and build our community. To me that means NESEA has strong leadership, is financially stable, and has the ability to support those members of our community who want to step forward and make something happen.
