I grew up in Bradford, Vermont, and have lived in Chelsea for the past 40 years. Over the years, I’ve worked on several dairy farms throughout the area, as well as in the sugar industry. I also worked in maintenance at Oxbo. This is my fourth year here at First Branch, and I’m happy to be part of the school community.
