If I were to distill the essence of Maine Course into two words, it would be Our Culture. I have had the opportunity to observe the company from afar over the past 15 years and have grown to appreciate MCHG’s reputation with industry leaders and brands. Every leader and associate I have met since joining the MCHG Family exudes an authentic degree of Care – a genuine concern for our guests, associates, properties, and communities.

My faith, my family, and my vocation are the top priorities in my life.I firmly believe that every human being is born with a unique purpose, and I want to ensure that my purpose is one that creates a significant impact in the lives of those around me, both personally and professionally.

My classic car hobby has helped me discover a lot about myself. It has taught me to be selective about the projects I take on, disciplined in budgeting, and mindful of the time invested in each project. The process of transforming a “rust bucket” from a neglected vehicle in someone’s yard into a fully restored project that a new owner can drive home as their “pride and joy” is incredibly rewarding. Similarly, I feel a sense of pride when our team members have the opportunity to learn and grow their careers through their hard work and commitment.

For 34 years, my wife Lonnie has been my rock and my inspiration. With two amazing children and our Chocolate Lab, Pluto, my family is my greatest source of joy and motivation. My Family means the world to me!
