About Michael
I am the proud father of two great kids and husband to a wonderful wife; I have been deeply involved in the communities in which my family has resided (Manchester and Tolland), taking leadership roles in charitable, sports, and civic organizations, including several dedicated to the betterment of education.
I am equally proud to be a partner in a firm that cares as much about my personal growth as my professional development.
What i enjoy most about my job is being able to solve people
