Teddy was a teacher in Hanover, MA for 15 years before committing full time to his passion for building.  He started his own construction company building homes across the South Shore, Cape and Islands.  Although he created beautiful homes, it was his love of the relationships he developed along the way the made his work meaningful.  Teddy was an avid golfer and loved the challenge of competition, but his true gift was the time he spent attending all the sporting events for his children and grandchildren.  He never missed a game, recital, concert or awards banquet.  You could always count on one thing, and that was that Teddy was always going to be there!
