With extensive knowledge and experience in Addison County real estate, Michael thrives in helping buyers find their dream homes and developing strategies for sellers to begin a new journey. A results-focused professional, Michael is recognized for his strong people, planning, and communication skills.

His Vermont story began 30+ years ago, when he and his now-wife, Amy, moved to Addison and purchased a 150-acre commercial apple orchard, Yankee Kingdom Orchard. Their business survived the ups and downs of the apple market and farming by having the foresight to diversify operations to include additional fruit crops, a garden center, a bakery, a playground for kids, and a landscaping business. He proudly designed, grew, and installed gardens for Basin Harbor – one of the jewels in Addison Counties' crown.

After years of farming, Michael turned his business development expertise to working for DR Power Equipment as their Senior Product Manager. For nearly a decade, he blended his business savvy, love of farming, and development experience to help grow the well-known and storied power equipment company. When the company merged with another equipment dealer in 2015, Michael had an opportunity to pursue his long-time passion for real estate.
