Classification Talks
 
Michael Thomas is in the real estate business with Keller Williams.  He has been with them for 3 years.  He is a 2004 graduate of Thornton Academy and went on to SMCC to get an Associates degree in business.  Michael has been in the sales industry for 10 years.  With a little prompting, he mentioned that Paul Deschambault was his favorite neighbor.  Michael deals primarily with residential properties – both with buyers and sellers in the York/Cumberland county areas.  He is still taking referrals and would appreciate any business we’d like to send his way.
 
Sarah Curley is with Liberty Mutual in South Portland.  She has been in the sales industry for 6 years with one year in insurance.  She deals with personal lines, home & life insurance.  She went to UNH and received a degree in Community Development.  She is very excited to be in Rotary & get involved in the community.  She has a yellow lab for a pet and enjoys being outdoors. She also volunteers with the Mustang Rescue.  She was just inducted as a member and has already represented the club at the recent Winterfest held in downtown Biddeford.
 
Matt Simmons is with Edwards Jones. His office is located in Biddeford across from Daly Brothers.  Matt is originally from upstate New York.  Matt has a Masters degree in secondary education.  He ran a school of nursing for a while.  He also worked at Noble High School in their Alternative Ed program.  Matt is in the financial advisory industry for personal reasons. He likes the education and helping others aspect of it all.  His focus is to help people with their income throughout their retirement not just to get to retirement.  He has a full service firm. He has been married for 10 years and has an 8 year old son.  He spends a lot of weekends working; however, Sunday’s are the designated family day.  Next Tuesday (02/17) is a retirement seminar.  The first Monday of every month the “coffee club” is held at the Pantry Café.  Matt teaches adult ed and is the chairman of the ambassador committee for the Chamber of Commerce.  Matt is here to help make a difference in people’s lives.
 
Thank you Michael, Sarah & Matt for doing a terrific job with your classification talks!  We are looking forward to hearing from all of the new members at some point.
