I was born in Rumford, raised in Bethel, and have lived in the Oxford Hills for the last 35+ years! I have more than 25 years of experience in the housing and real estate industries in Western Maine. There is nothing more satisfying than listening to the needs of families and couples, and helping them choose just the right home. I know the area well and know just about everyone in the area.

I was born in Rumford, raised in Bethel, and have lived in the Oxford Hills for the last 35+ years! I have more than 25 years of experience in the housing and real estate industries in Western Maine. There is nothing more satisfying than listening to the needs of families and couples, and helping them choose just the right home. I know the area well and know just about everyone in the area. I can give you the scoop on the schools, neighborhoods, taxes, nearby hiking trails, best farm stands, local watering holes, and just about anything else of interest. It's great to do business close to home in a community that I love. In addition to residential sales and buyer representation, I specialize in buying and selling vacation homes and land on many or near many of the area's mountains, lakes, and ponds. I live in South Paris with my partner, Paul Ricci, also a native of the area, and an employee of the Department of Defense, DCMA. We enjoy sharing our farmhouse, on Mount Mica, with friends and family.

When not showing property or enjoying my granddaughters, I spend my time showshoeing, hiking, reading, watching live music, camping, golfing, enjoying microbrews, National Parks, and traveling with family and friends. I saw music shows last year in eight different states, from California to Maine! I also visited several National Parks and National monuments, from Dry Tortugas to Joshua Tree. I am on the Board of Directors of the Western Foothills Land Trust, and the Paris Public Library. I also lead hiking, walking, and kayaking adventures for Western Maine Health. I love real estate. Well know for my enthusiasm, positive attitude, and friendliness, I'm almost always available to chat – and happy to answer any of your questions.
