Why Shawmut?
From the moment I walked in for my first interview, I knew Shawmut wasn’t like the other construction companies I’d seen. It was vibrant, collaborative, unstuffy, and more diverse. I embraced our employee-owned, people-driven, client-service-focused culture from day one and never looked back.
Beyond Shawmut
I am a proud husband and father and live in Connecticut with my wife and two sons. I am an avid sports fan, cook, and gardener, and enjoy traveling with my family – particularly to Italy, Maine, and the Pacific Northwest.
Fun Fact
For over a decade, I’ve been hosting an annual tailgate at a NY Jets game that has grown to as many as 105 people. I spend 36 hours cooking beforehand – usually about 30 lbs of wings and 50 lbs of pork shoulder, which goes into my version of Cuban sandwiches.
