Where do you live?

Cuylerville, New York

What brought you to LivCo?

I grew up in Scottsville and my family enjoyed camping at Letchworth, boating on Conesus Lake, hiking the Greenway, and going to local festivals throughout the county. After spending the last 7 years out west, I moved back home and knew the wide open spaces and outdoor recreation opportunities of Livingston County was where I wanted to be.

What do you primarily work on in the office?

My main focus is championing Livingston County as a destination for outdoor recreation and rural tourism. My goals are to improve both visitor quality of experience as well as resident quality of life.

Favorite LivCo Spot:

The Genesee Valley Greenway. I love to hike and bike and the Greenway is enjoyable in any season.

Favorite LivCo Meal:

A Wahlburger and homemade root beer from Tom Wahl's.

Favorite LivCo Event:

The Genesee Valley Hunt Races & Fall Festival. Autumn is my favorite season and horses and dogs are two of my favorite things and it all combines in this great family festival.

How do you invest in LivCo?

I enjoy bringing my family and friends out and about in the county. It's great to make new memories at spots I've been to before and get to know all the new faces and places.
