I love what I do and I'm passionate about giving back to my community. I'm active in supporting the Portsmouth Historical Society with fundraising and help out at the John Paul Jones House for Spring and Fall cleanups. I also serve on the board of the Seacoast Area Bike Riders (SABR), who are active in promoting safe throughout the New Hampshire Seacoast. In April of 2024, I helped launche the Seacoast Pedal It Forward (SPIF) initiative, which places refurbished bicycles into the hands of community members who need reliable transportation to and from work. I hope that you will join us on one of our tours!
