About Me

Since 1983, I’ve split my time in Chatham and Connecticut. My family and I can be found on the rail trail (bike, run, walk), on the water (fish, paddle, bogey), in the rough on the golf course, or playing in the sand.

I appreciate authentic places — original cottages, dilapidated barns and discarded tenders — and remain inspired by people who care deeply about their communities and take action to protect and preserve this wonderful place.

Since 2005, I have spent my professional life in State Capitols. For the last nine years, I have the privilege of advocating for public policies that support the missions of nonprofit organizations while serving on multiple nonprofit boards. 

You can also find me on Twitter at @HappyCapeCod and email me at HappyCapeCod.com@gmail.com.

Have a question about Cape Cod or a story idea? Let me know.
