Why Shawmut?

I joined Shawmut in 2022 because of their reputation for excellence in client service and I was immediately welcomed with open arms by colleagues with a great sense of caring and professionalism. I am happy to be able to bring my experiences and relationships to drive growth in the NY region.

Beyond Shawmut

I enjoy being active at the gym, road cycling, and skiing with my family, as well as weekends volunteering at my wife’s therapeutic riding center.

Fun Fact

My high school and college jobs like lumber yard truck driver, painter, laborer, and draftsman led me into a career in construction.
