In 1996 my wife Nikki and I rented our first apartment as a married couple in Bourne.After 4 years of paying off student loans and building up our savings, we purchased our first home in Bourne.In 2001 and 2004 we welcomed our two sons – both born at Cape Cod Hospital. As a young family, we settled in the Bourne community, volunteering and in civic service with town boards and committees.
The pandemic has exacerbated mental health disorders across the lifespan.
