Andover Democrats

I’ve been an Andover resident since moving here from Storrs with my family in 1975.  I’m a UCONN civil engineering graduate and have worked as a civil-environmental engineer and surveyor for the past 37 years.  During much of my career I’ve rendered professional services to private and municipal clients statewide and have over 8 years of full time municipal service as a town engineer and as a public works director.  I have also worked for the Connecticut DEP since 1995, most recently as a civil engineer in the DEP’s engineering services unit in support of the State’s dam safety, flood and erosion control programs.  Some of this experience involved areas of finance and administration such as contracting, cost estimating, municipal public works and department budget preparation for operations, capital outlay, non-recurring expenditures, and capital improvement project planning and budgeting.

My current work with the State has included contracting of dam repair & flood control projects, municipal grant management & coordination (including for STEAP and urban grants), and capital budgeting for state flood control and dam repair projects.   I was also active in Town as a member of the Andover Economic Development Commission (EDC) during the early 1990s and again later as chairman from 1998-2003 when the EDC restarted after 6 years of dormancy.   I am a US Army combat veteran having served in Vietnam during 1968-1969 as an infantry lieutenant and have been an active member of the Andover Memorial Day Committee since 1997.
