“I was born and raised in Scarborough. I believe in giving back to my community. I want to use my talents from my career to help our town as a trustee on Portland Water District,” he stated on his Facebook election page. He says his grandparents and parents took him volunteering at an early age, instilling a strong community connection that he hopes his two children will carry on.
