Why Shawmut?

Shawmut is truly a special place, with a Culture of Care focused on taking care of its people, clients, our industry as a whole, and the communities where we work and live. Our success is a result of a commitment to excellence, and an unwavering commitment to fairness, honesty, and integrity in everything we do each and every day.

Beyond Shawmut

I love being a husband and father. Natives and residents of the Jersey Shore, my wife and I have two sons who are both currently studying at Virginia Tech. We love taking road trips to Blacksburg to visit the boys, spend time in the Blue Ridge mountains, and of course catch a game at Lane Stadium! When I am not at work, or spending time with my family, I am working around the house, usually on a new project inspired by something I’ve seen in on one of our job sites!

Fun Fact

During my time at National Outdoor Leadership School, I built and lived in a snow cave called a Quigloo for two weeks. Each morning we’d venture out on our telemark skis into the Snake River Range in Wyoming to find a new run and lay some fresh tracks!
