Having spent my life in Maine, it may surprise people that my first visit to Sunday River was in the early 80s, back when the mountain was “small”. After spending a number of years in the Portland area, my wife and I chose to move to the Western Maine region because at the time, Oxford County had just one traffic light. We enjoy the peace of the mountains. When we drive on Route 26 from the coast and we get the first glimpse of the mountains, my wife comments, “I’m home.”

In 2004, I began working with Sunday River Real Estate after years of selling residential real estate. Working with people who are buying a resort home is very rewarding, especially families who are buying their first vacation property. I enjoy helping people find a place that offers the same simplicity I was seeking in coming to this region. Customers are incredibly pleasurable to work with because most are coming by after a day on the slopes or playing a round of golf. Sunday River has an incredible passion for snowmaking and grooming – the mountain’s commitment to snow quality is one of the reasons guests choose this mountain as a place to buy a home.

Summertime rituals:

• Watching baseball – including the Little League playoffs
• Simply relaxing with my wife, Susan, and our 2 Corgis, or visiting with our three kids and four grandchildren.

My first trip to Sunday River was in 1991 as a ski racer for the Bates Winter Carnival. In 1996 I relocated and began working at Sunday River. Having worked in various departments including the Grand Summit Hotel, events and competition, and human resources, I have experienced the resort from many viewpoints. In December, 2005, I decided to join the Real Estate team. The best thing about Sunday River is the variety of each mountain’s terrain. A beginner can ski or ride on almost every area of the resort. Selling resort real estate allows me to meet people who have the same passion for the outdoor lifestyle as I do. I know the resort and the region so well that I can help each person find the right property in the perfect location for them.

My husband Dave and I, along with our sons Cameron and Ian, love living here. The region has so much to offer – hiking, biking, canoeing, fishing, golf, skiing, snowmobiling – something for everyone. We are an active family and take every opportunity we can to go road and mountain biking, telemark skiing and snowshoeing. On winter weekends, I enjoy educating the guests as a host on the RSN morning show.

Summertime picks:

• Going to summer festivals on the Bethel Common
• Swimming in nearby Songo Pond
• Eating chowder at the Harvest Fest in the fall

Having grown up in Vermont, my first visit to Sunday River was as a skier in 1986. I joined the resort family as the Director of Communications in 2000, and five years later became a member of the Real Estate team. I’ve discovered that what makes Sunday River special is the dedicated and loyal team of employees who love the resort and pass their passion on to guests. Despite the popularity and growth of the resort, the region’s natural beauty remains pristine. The people who live here truly appreciate their surroundings.

Over the past couple of years, many of my clients have become friends and it is great to connect them with other Sunday River families. I know that they work hard, and owning at Sunday River is a well-deserved reward; they will have the opportunity to build many lasting memories here. My true passions include skiing, golfing and running along the river. Within the community, I am a member of three local boards - Mahoosuc Arts Council, the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce, and Project Opportunity.

Top summertime favorites:

• Golf at the Sunday River Golf Club, especially hole 17
• Sushi at Cho Sun
• Concerts and events at the Bethel Common
