Upon completion of high school graduation, I served four years active duty in the United States Army. Served two years in Germany, two years in Georgia, and a 90 day tour in Kuwait. The military was a great experience in which I learned teamwork, discipline and most of all taking ownership of my actions. Post service, I began my career at Eversource. In 1998, the company name was Commonwealth Gas in which I was a gas distribution laborer. Over the next five years I progressed to backhoe operator and then as crew leader in which the company was now NSTAR. After an additional thirteen years, I moved to the management side of the company (Eversource) as a Damage Prevention Supervisor in which I held this role for 5 years. Most recently I have been promoted to Manager of Gas Meter Service in which is my current role at the company. I have been with Eversource for almost 23 years and am well versed in the construction, distribution, damage prevention, and meter service aspects of the natural gas industry .
