Steve says: “Litchfield is a wonderful town and a great place to live. We moved here in 2000 specifically for the school system and town charm, and have grown to adore this community and all the area has to offer. Specifically, I would like to use my lifetime of experience in education to see that each child in Litchfield gets the best education and overall experience that can be offered, while at the same time working amicably and cohesively with all town officials and boards.

Living in Litchfield County for the majority of my life, I’ve grown to love so many wonderful attributes. I love the schools, the small-town charm, the hiking trails, the serenity, and the quintessential New England characteristics of our area. We have amazing people, businesses, restaurants, and events. When I think of our surroundings, I think of tradition, family events on our beautiful town green, our wonderful library, White Memorial, youth sports, and how passionate people are about our wonderful community and how supportive we are of each other’s needs and passions.

My wife, Maura, and I have two children. Molly, who graduated from Litchfield High School in 2019, will be attending Westfield State University and majoring in School Social Work. Colleen, a true animal lover and artist, attends Litchfield High School.
