15-20 years

For many years I have been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers for my work in real estate law and land use and zoning law and litigation. I was also among the New Hampshire Union Leader's 2012 "40 Under 40" class and among NH Business Review's New Hampshire 200 which spotlights the 200 most influential business leaders in the Granite State's private sector.

I am a commissioner and past-chairman of the board of commissioners of the Concord Housing and Redevelopment Authority. I also sit on the Executive Committee of the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, am a current Director, and have served as Chairman of its Government Affairs Committee. I was a member of Concord 2020, a community advisory group dedicated to improving the workability and livability of the City of Concord, NH.

Through the firm, I am a past chairman and former member of the National Association of Home Builders. I served on the National Association of Home Builders Legal Action Committee.

I represent business, construction, land use development, and environmental clients on a variety of legislative, regulatory, and litigation matters. I represented the New Hampshire Home Builders Association on the question of residential fire sprinkler legislation, crafting amendments to New Hampshire's residential construction and fire safety codes, and in negotiating amendments to the State Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act. I also managed the negotiation and closing of several commercial asset sales and purchases while leading the processing of various state and municipal development, environmental, and excavation permit applications.
