As long as I can remember I have been by my fathers side in the sugarwoods or sugarhouse. If we were not sugaring, we were hunting or fishing with family. I remember being dragged in to the sugarwoods in the middle of winter and thinking I will never do this when I grow up, well priorities definitely change as you grow up. I left Vermont to attend University of Maine to where I earned a Bachelors degree in Business Administration and also played soccer for the University.

After college I stayed in Maine and joined the business world in the form of a sales rep for Pepsi, in one year I became a Sales Manager and had great success. However I realized that this was not the lifestyle I wanted and missed Vermont. The idea of being able to spend days working in the outdoors and working for myself was what I decided to make a reality. I also had a solid background in business and technology and felt I could be a great asset to my father who is a very accomplished sugarmaker, but not so in terms of marketing and technology. This is when I partnered with my father Dick and jumped in to the sugaring business. We make a great team! I also manage the USA branch of Dominion & Grimm, a manufacturer of maple sugaring equipment. I spend my work days either selling maple equipment, or in our own sugarhouse. Outside of work I can be found in the outdoors skiing, fishing, hunting, and traveling.
