Hometown: Wellesley, MA
Secondary school: St. Mark’s School
College: Trinity College

What I’m up to: I live in Sherborn with my wife Jennifer, our two kids—Tate, a fourth grader at Fessenden, and Teddie, a five-year-old girl—and our five-pound Yorkshire Terrier. I am the co-founder and Managing Partner at the GB Financial Group, a life insurance boutique firm based in Boston. My brother—and fellow 2000 Fessy alumnus—is my business partner. I have spent the last three years serving as co-director of the Head of the Charles Regatta. I spend my free time with my family, and I love teaching my children how to ski, play golf, and ride a bike.

Favorite Fessenden memory: The teachers at Fessenden make it what it is. It is hard to put into words how incredibly supportive the environment is and how instrumental it was in making me who I am today. Also, those Congo Bars!

Chair, Communications Committee

Secondary school: The Governor's Academy
College: Villanova University

What I’m up to: I currently work in Los Angeles for Banc of California lending to technology start-ups. Outside of work you can find me traveling around the golden state on beaches and mountains, walking my terrier-mix Bodhi, or trying my hand at working through a cookbook (still haven't mastered the Fessy Congo Bar...yet).

Favorite Fessenden memory: Riding the Boston Bus with Antonio was always an excellent start to the school day. The top has to be Fessenden's unique ability to teach all the boys to walk NOT run, covering half a mile between classes at an olympic sprinters pace.

What I’m up to: I am currently an associate consultant at Bain & Company, working out of the New York office. I am incredibly interested in traveling to cool places and entrepreneurship. 

Favorite Fessenden memory: I have so many great memories from Fessenden, but if I had to choose one, I will always remember during my first year at Fessy when Mr. Epstein instilled in me that I could be successful at anything I set my mind to. The confidence and belief that he instilled in me has persisted throughout my whole life and is representative of the positivity that Fessy instills in its students.

Favorite Fessenden memory: My fondest memories of Fessenden are of Mr. Eveleth teaching us how to write in a more lively fashion by describing and writing about his life experiences in great detail.

What I’m up to: After receiving my M.S. degree in environmental science from SUNY-ESF (Syracuse, NY), I started working as a research specialist at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, investigating greenhouse gasses at farms down in Alabama. I am eager to start applying for PhD programs next fall. In the meantime, I have been enjoying living in Champaign, IL, with Andrew—my brother and a fellow Fessy alumnus—who is studying at Harvard Law School remotely this academic year.

Favorite Fessenden memory: There are so many great memories from Fessenden but I would have to go with stopping at the Gathering room on my way to lunch on Thursdays to look at Mrs. Gobbi's artfully hand-drawn board of weekend activities. Then, I had less than 24 hours to make the hardest decisions of my life until I scribbled my name on the sign-up sheets scattered across the tables in the Sanderson Dining Hall during breakfast the following day[KH5] .
