About Me: 

Lived in Telluride, CO for the past decade ski bumming it. Loved mountain life and kitesurfed on every vacation I had. Grew up here in MA. Just moved back last fall to Cape Cod. I live in Falmouth and on Martha's Vineyard, going back and forth frequently for work. So nice to be able to kite any time the wind is up b/c the ocean is right out my door now. I do miss the Rockies, but I love being back on the seashore too.

Occupation: 
Builder
Other Interests & Hobbies: 

Any and All, actually let me qualify that, everything except golf.
