About Donald

I am a life-long resident of Barre Town, where I was active in Scouting, and became and Eagle Scout in 1991.  I am a graduate of Spaulding High School and Johnson State College, where I studied under my mentor and friend, Senator Bill Doyle. Following graduation from JSC, I spent a year and a half at Philadelphia Lutheran Seminary exploring a possible call to the ministry, which I realized was not my true calling. 

I have enjoyed a twenty year carreer as a long-haul truck driver, owning and operating Cedarbrook Trucking, based in Barre. I am now employed as a driver for K. Bellavance Land Works and Hauling, based out of Barre, transporting machinery and materials in and out of job sites, as well as assisting with construction and winter plowing projects.  

I am an active member of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, in Montpelier, where I serve as a cantor and worship assistant. In my spare time, I enjoy hunting and fishing, and in the spring, I join with my father making maple syrup on our farm in East Barre.
