After four decades as a family physician, I now bring that same commitment to my legislative work representing the good people of Maine Senate District 20. I co-founded Family Healthcare Associates in 1978 where I cared for people of all ages -- delivering babies along with caring for their parents and grandparents -- always with an attentive and listening ear to wider family concerns and needs. I
also directed the Central Maine Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program. My commitment to a broad array of community health issues led to serving as co-chair of the Lewiston/Auburn Public Health Steering Committee and as a board member and adviser to the Maine Public Health Association. I also help maintain trails at Thorncrag and Woodbury sanctuaries for the Stanton Bird Club and serve as a land steward for the Androscoggin Land Trust. I am a long-time member of the First Universalist Church in Auburn and deliver food from Hannaford Supermarkets to the Trinity Jubilee Center in Lewiston. I live in Auburn with my wife Marian (Kitsie), a former hospice chaplain with Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice. We have two adult sons, Nick and Will, who attended Auburn area schools and were active in local sports.
