History. I grew up the oldest son in a hard working blue-collar family in Turner, Maine. I graduated high school in 1994 and joined the United States Marine Corp. After being honorably discharged from the service, I started working as a nurses assistant to help pay for college. At the same time I began to volunteer on Democratic campaigns such as Baldacci for Congress and Brennan for Senate. After a short time of working as a nurses assitant, I realized that I wanted to be a registered nurse. In 2003, I graduated nursing school at the University of Southern Maine. Since graduating from USM's nursing program in 2003, I have worked as an outpatient and inpatient psychiatric nurse with children and adolescents and as an inpatient orthopedic rehabilitation nurse. Today, I continue to care for the seniors, the young, the wealthy and not so wealthy in our community.
Hobbies. I am an amateur web developer. I like to ride my 1973 BMW R75. I volunteer with social service organizations. I love coffee!
Family. I have a wonderful partner, Amanda. We will have our first child in late January 2009.
