From Tom True



I moved to New Hampshire on my 18th birthday, the day after we graduated, and have been here ever since. It took me only a few short months to fall in love with the state but it was love at first sight when I met my wife Kathy at UNH. I met Kathy while headed to see my brother Terry & FA in the state championship football game; luckily our relationship went better than the game. We dated for five years before we were married in 1988 & we have enjoyed our lives together ever since.

We have two children, Chelsea (16) and Alex (13), spitting images of their mother & father respectively. As with virtually all teens these days, they are very active and can’t get enough IM-ing/texting/socializing to fill their days but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We have lived in Deerfield, NH since we were married. Deerfield is very rural and is located halfway between Manchester & Portsmouth. The beauty of our area is that we’re near nothing but close to everything: the seacoast, the mountains, Boston, etc.

We have run a medium-sized civil engineering firm in Bedford since 1998 and our firm specializes in land development. We are considered part of the Greater Boston area, which drives our market, but I’m glad I’m not making that commute.

We all love to ski, hike, bike, kayak & other outside activities but especially love the 2-3 weeks each year that we spend at our camp on the coast near Ellsworth/Trenton. The picture above is from the top of The Bubbles in Acadia but unlike Dale, this is not my typical grooming, I only put the razor away when on vacation.
