When did you join BL Companies? May, 2021 What made you decide to come to BL Companies?

I was at my previous company for 15 years and was released after they exited the coal power generation market. I wanted to work for a firm that was growing, and BL was looking for a pipe expert while being conveniently located in Hartford CT. Tell us a little about yourself! I grew up in Stamford, CT and went to school at UConn in Storrs, CT. Graduated in 2005 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and again in 2010 with a Master’s in Business Administration. I currently live in South Windsor, CT with my wife Lindsay and son, Nicholas. He’s two, full of energy, and never sleeps. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Used to enjoy home improvement, happy hours, and binge-watching TV shows before I became a Dad. Now, there is no free time. Seriously zero. What is a favorite vacation or dream destination? Always a good time in Clearwater Beach, FL. If you won the lottery, what’s your splurge? Just give me a nice big house and an early retirement. Who’s your celebrity look alike? I’ve been told I resemble Steve Carrel (old version, with a beard and glasses). What do you miss most about being a kid? Playing outdoors til sundown. We had a great neighborhood full of kids our age. What is the nerdiest thing you do in your spare time? I’ve been studying stock charts since 2005. When money is involved its always quite a thrill. What is something you learned in the last week? Or since joining BL? Since joining BL, I’ve learned not only how to write procedures for gas piping, but also how to read all those colorful CBYD markings in the road. Now, you notice them everywhere…
