Passion project: I am creating a Wikia for my mother’s family tree and writing down all of the unique stories from the lives lived in the past and present.
Audacious goal: To serve and represent the great state of Maine as governor or senator one day, following the examples of Angus King and Joshua Chamberlain.

How do you recharge: Long drives. Throwing a bag in the car and driving two-plus hours in any direction in Maine. Getting back to nature on the rocky coast, deep in the woods or atop a mountain.
