More Information
Significant professional accomplishment: Creating 615 new units of affordable housing in Maine, with another 234 in predevelopment. More than just these numbers, my hope is that these units are providing a stable foundation for residents to thrive.
Passion project: Running all six World Marathon Majors [Tokyo, Boston, London, Chicago, Berlin and New York City]. Two completed, two entries and two to go! In the process of training for these marathons, I became a Road Runners Club of America certified run coach so I could train more efficiently and work to improve my PR within an already busy schedule.
Audacious goal: To ensure that every family in Maine has a safe and healthy home they can afford.
Favorite quote: “Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” — Henry David Thoreau
Influential book: “A Pattern Language,” by Christopher Alexander
Favorite movies/TV shows: “Parks and Recreation,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Ted Lasso”
How do you recharge: A long run and a good meal.
