- Canton, CT
I grew up in Canton near West Simsbury and spent many hours exploring the woods near my home. Except for two brief stays in Avon and Burlington, I have been here my whole life.
My wife also grew up in Canton and we are raising two boys here. In my spare time I still enjoy wandering in the woods, flyfishing and playing the mandolin and guitar.
