As a Property Manager for Chinburg I manage three mill properties in Lewiston and Westbrook totaling over 1.2 million square feet. I am responsible for managing all tenants, their leases and renewals, negotiating contracts, working with vendors, managing build-to-suit commercial tenant fit-ups, supervising staff, inspecting properties and maintaining occupancy and budgets.

We, myself and my wife Kerry Eielson, left NYC to buy and create La Muse in our twenties. We did this, leaving great jobs in publishing, because we wanted to create a different life for ourselves, our children, and our own creative projects.Why do we do what we do? We believe that by actively engaging in creative pursuits you can inspire yourself and others.We feel blessed that the work we carved out for ourselves here at La Muse gives us the opportunity to both live in a bucolic village in the south of France and get to know writers, artists and other creative individuals from all over the world.Our mission is to share what we have created here with others. We have discovered from residents, after over a decade of hosting retreats, that giving yourself consistent time and space to be creative is personally and professionally transformative.We make retreats accessible to both emerging and established artists by keeping our room rates low and being open year round. We feel everyone should be able to come to a space like La Muse to create when they need to because we feel that creativity is a basic human need.
