I have been a full time real estate broker in Maine for the past 8 years and spend the majority of my time building our business, but when I do take a break I enjoy spending it with family/friends, pursuing outdoor activities and getting out on the water! I am an avid sailor/boater plus enjoy tennis, running and most recently kite surfing!

I currently live in Portland, help co-direct a local kids summer camp in the summer and stay as active as I can in the community. One of my more recent endeavors is lobstering, please just ask and come aboard for a haul anytime! Note: Any resident of Maine is actually entitled to a 5 trap recreational license!

3 years ago I took a 6 month hiatus from real estate to sail from Maine to the Caribbean and back aboard our dear yet tragically lost to a storm, S/V Audax.

Alas I will always be considered "From Away," but I continue to do my best to blend in with the "native" population.

I am originally from Chatham, New Jersey. In my earlier years I played a ton of tennis (still do!!) and hockey. I guess I was somewhat of an entrepreneur as well, creating a landscaping service and researching/investing publicly traded companies.

I attended the University of Virginia and graduated with a degree in Economics in 2002. Perhaps my fondest memory of my college years was when I spent a semester aboard a 125 foot tall ship - the SSV Corwith Cramer through a fantastic program known as SEA education.

I have had the luxury of spending every summer on the coast of Maine, specifically in Small Point and West Point located on the peninsula of Phippsburg.

Organizations/companies/jobs I have worked at and been affiliated with in the past include Eagle Point Enterprises, an affordable housing real estate development company, carpentry as a self employed handyman, hospitality management at Rock Gardens Inn, Migis Lodge and the Cape Arundel Inn, and web design work.

I am currently active with the following organizations:

• Portland Board of REALTORS
• Maine Association of Realtors
• National Association of Realtors
• Maine Island Trail Association
• Small Point Summer School - Camp Director

He started with investment properties, became a landlord and also started his own Finish Carpentry business, Precision Plus Carpentry. He is now a licensed Real Estate Agent with Portside Real Estate.

Susan is happiest when she is wearing many different hats. With a BA in Psychology from Colby College and a Masters in Clinical Social Work at Smith College, Susan spent several years working in the field of domestic violence and child abuse as a clinical social worker. She changed careers in the mid ‘90s, opting to focus on peoples’ computer woes rather than their family issues and she became a software support specialist. In 2002, Susan branched out from social work and software support and became licensed in NH to practice real estate. Since that time, she has added web design, photography, blogging, social media, and even a short stint of Birman cat breeding to her repertoire. After moving back to Maine, she began working with Herrigel & Kennedy at Portside Real Estate. By day, Susan works as a Senior Analyst troubleshooting an analytical chemistry application and on weekends, she dons her real estate hat.
