Q : WHAT MAKES BURLINGTON SPECIAL?
Burlington has always felt like home to me. I’ve built businesses here, raised my family here, and been able to give back to the community that’s supported me. Burlington has a culture of supporting one another. Whether it’s local charities, small businesses, or community events, there’s a genuine spirit of connection. It’s the kind of place where you see familiar faces at the farmers’ market, cheer each other on at local sports games, and rally together when someone’s in need. For me, Burlington is more than where I live. It’s a city that reflects the values I care about most: family, community, and growth.
Q: WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
I live by four words. Dream. Believe. Achieve. Inspire. I’m inspired by the idea of building something that truly makes a difference for people. I’ve always been driven by growth, personally, professionally, and within my community. Seeing people rise to their potential and knowing I had a small part in helping them get there is what fuels me. My family also inspires me every day. They remind me why I work hard and push myself. Being a present father and having my boys grow up to be humble and respectful inspires me to be better.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR MISSION OR PURPOSE?
To bring out the best in each person and help them be the best version of themselves. My mission is to build businesses and community initiatives that create lasting impact. I’m passionate about developing opportunities where people can grow, thrive, and feel supported, whether that’s through entrepreneurship, job creation, or giving back to the community. I want my children to understand the true value of life, love, community, compassion, and find their true version of success. I changed my stars, and I want others to understand and believe that they can change their stars as well.
