Born and raised in Shelburne, Vermont and now living in Fairfax where I purchased my first home in September of 2020. If I am not at Heritage, you can find me tinkering at my house, camping or driving around Vermont to find the best rivers for fishing; I love to experience the Vermont outdoors. I'd be more than happy to help you find the right vehicle for every adventure, in a laid back and hassle-free environment. Come experience the Heritage difference.

I've had 2 4 runners now I am excited to b driving this truck when I pick it up tomorrow. they were able to get me in for under coatings so I didn't have to bring it back to have it done as they know I work a lot with my busy schedule.
