Favorite local shop? Too tough to pick one, so here are four: Ultimate Perk, Grassfields, Depot Pizza, and Perfectos                         

How do you see Andover changing in the next 10 years? In short, I don’t see the town changing much and I’m glad about that. In the immediate future, I hope the town approves the Cormier Youth Center project. This proposed facility is a “must have” for the residents of this community. In the coming years, I hope the town will fund other similar projects and related programs. Andover is and will continue to be a great community because of the character and integrity of the people who work and live here.

Where would someone see you around town? Running/walking in-town with my wife Jen and our two sons Patrick (2) and John (3 months.)
