Me and my girls.

25 things about me:
- I grew up in Massachusetts which makes me a C’s, B’s, Sox and Pats fan.
- On sports: I like the designated hitter. I think they should get rid of offsides in soccer. I think tennis and golf should have to deal with crowd noise.
- I like to cook. Smoker, outdoor grill, pressure cooker, oven or stove… Like ‘em all.
- I love to travel and have been to just over 50 countries which pales to The Love Machine, who I think has lapped me.
- When I think of my family, I also consider the Marcotte’s and Phillips’ part of that.
- Two of my high school teachers; Don Doliber and Al Brown had more of a significant impact on my life than they will ever know. Mr. Brown would laugh at this as I think I did pretty poorly in his class.
- I like brain teasers.
- My favorite book is the Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.
- I’m a germaphobe.
- I was on the last PATH train into the WTC on 9/11.
- The best thing I took away from my undergrad years at Villanova was my network of friends. They really are the best people on the planet.
- I love to laugh. If you’ve ever seen me catch a wave it can be an event.
- The most important thing in the world to me is my twin girls. They give me never ending explosions of pride as I see them grow up… hopefully not too fast!
- My favorite actors are Jimmy Stewart and Carey Grant.
- My favorite movies are It’s a Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
- I owe my entire appreciation for movies before 1975 to my grandmother; Mimi.
- My first concert was the Kinks at the Worcester Centrum.
- I love board games and cards. Some of my favorite games are backgammon, pinochle and I’ll admit to Axis & Allies. Sometimes I would much rather stay at home and play Pictionary or Trivial Pursuit than go out.
- I love history. I’ve been to the sites of four of the seven ancient wonders of the world. One of my favorite podcasts is Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History.
- I don’t drink coffee.
- My favorite tv characters are Columbo, Alan Shore, Mike Ehrmantraut, Thomas Magnum and Ray Donavan.
- I’ve always loved photography, but I started thinking about it seriously when I bought my first SLR for a safari trip to Africa in 1998.
- There was a time when I used to rent dark room space in Chelsea one night a week after work.
- Regarding photography; I feel like life is fleeting and things can change in a minute. Sometimes it’s all about those small intimate moments. My style is more photojournalistic though I like to do travel photography, children’s photography, family photography and portrait photography. I think I do best at just recognizing a moment, grabbing the camera and trying to catch it.
- My favorite pictures are the ones where you get that warm feeling about a familiar time and place and smile with a fond memory. I feel like that’s when I know I’ve done a good job.
