Thanks to everyone that helped clean up at Thorncrag!

Volunteers came out to help with the spring clean up at Thorncrag on Saturday, May 5 despite the weather!. After the clean up they were treated to a rustic lunch cooked over an open fire (lunch sponsored by Adam Dunbar, Wachovia Securities, LLC) and tours of Thorncrag, a great place for free picnicking, hiking, sledding and more!

Michael Bilodeau of Bilodeau Insurance Agency

What’s your favorite band?
I like a wide variety of music but if I want to get pumped, AC/DC would be my first choice.
Favorite Place in Maine?
Baxter State Park

Are you originally from the area/state?
Yes, born at St. Mary’s Lewiston, ME

Why do you choose to live/work in the L-A area?
My family. I also enjoy dealing with and helping the people I’ve known and grown up with in the community

How does/has the area benefited your professional career?
I’ve been selling insurance for 10 years now and have helped many people in the community with their personal and commercial insurance needs by providing them with the coverage necessary with the best prices available.

What would you want everyone to know about you?
I am the youngest of 3 children who have all settled down in Lewiston with their families. I have been married for 6 years to my wife Jayne and within this time we have managed to create, by today’s standards, a rather large family. It started in 2001 with our Dog-Taylor, age 6, and snowballed form there. Kate, age 5, is the oldest of 4 girls. Audrey & Emily are twins that turned 3 in March and Addison, our baby of the family (just like my wife and I) is 11 months old. I enjoy spending time with my family and the outdoor activities the 4 seasons of Maine has to offer. I take great pride in being the 3rd generation of a family owned and operated business since 1950. I am also a Rotary member and involved in a local BNI group.
