Why are you an ACT Member?
I have always been impressed with ACT. When I came to Bennington I was thrilled to learn that there was such an organization; especially in a smaller town like ours. Early on in my career I did a lot of work with at-risk youth and learned firsthand the damage substance use can have on their lives. I am happy to support ACT’s vision in any way I can.
What do you love most about living and/or working in Bennington?
The mountains! I used to live in a relatively flat area and always appreciated coming to Vermont. I enjoy hiking and am thrilled to have such great trail access within a short distance.
Top three songs on your current playlist:
Wow! It would be tough for me to narrow it to three. I am a huge Beatles fan and I think I have been listening to Abbey Road most recently, although I also listen to the Beatles Channel on Sirius XM pretty regularly. I jump to Jimi Hendrix or Pink Floyd whenever I need a break from the Beatles.
What are you reading right now?
I’m just finishing Inverting The Pyramid: The History of Soccer Tactics. I am a big soccer fan.
What are you doing to support your health and wellness?
I run. I am hoping to get back to the Boston Marathon next year, but I need a qualifier first (which I will run in October). Now that COVID restrictions are easing up, I have a few races that I am looking forward to running.
