INTERVIEWED: Ben Willard of Willard & Sons, a mooring-services company.
LISTENING: “Radio at work, lots of country. Out on the barge, listening to Sirius radio — Y2Country and The Highway.”
WATCHING: “Got rid of cable. I’m all over the place with shows, but watching ‘The Crown’ with my wife.”
READING: “Mostly Marblehead papers, and the internet (but it’s hard to know what’s real!). I read a lot of marine papers when I’m out on the water – Soundings and anything about fishing.”
SOMETHING PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU OR YOUR CAREER: People might not know I have two kids, 8 and 5, and a wife who’s a teacher. We are into the kids’ sports and skiing. The reality is — it goes fast…
I also like buying and fixing up boats — a 26’ Fortier and 23’ Regulator.
