Activities

I come from a family that own race cars and have been around the races my whole life. I am used to working on cars and learned very young how to take things apart and put them back together. I’ve also learned how to be part of a team and work together. I enjoy the races and now work for the race track doing media. I enjoy making promotional videos for the race track and am also a photographer. In the past, I helped raise money for the Vermont Children’s Hospital. Over about 5 years, I raised roughly $40,000 by hosting benefits and tournaments to help raise money.

Additional Information

Through our INSPRE program that I manage at Novabus, I created an employee appreciation program. The program is the Employee Of The Week. Each Month, a committee and myself get together and choose Employees that have gone above and beyond for the business and show them appreciation with a parking spot and 2 free ETO hours to use during that week.
