Meet our 2024 bricks & Clicks experts

Every other year, we offer the Bricks & Clicks program to connect local businesses with seasoned consultants to tackle their unique challenges. Each participant in the program receives a free one-on-one consultation with a technical expert tailored to their specific needs, with the opportunity for a follow-up session at no additional cost.

Bricks & Clicks is a collaborative effort made possible by the generosity of our sponsor, Machias Savings Bank, and the expertise of local professionals. We are excited to introduce familiar and new faces to this year’s program. So, without further ado, let’s meet our dedicated experts, whose insights and guidance are set to drive growth and innovation for our local businesses in 2024!
