New Alumni Association President & Meeting Dates

Kim Toigo PC ’05, New Alumni Association President
Kim came to North Bennet’s Preservation Carpentry program in 2003 as a mid-life career change after more than twenty years in the travel and technology fields. She studied with Denis Semprebon and Robert Adam and after graduation worked as a field carpenter until 2009.

In 2009 she took her building knowledge and love of houses into green energy where she joined a startup company called Next Step Living. She helped build that business from 20 employees in 2009 to 800 in 2015. She now sells high efficiency heating and cooling equipment for a family-owned company in Westwood, MA. In her spare time, she is learning upholstery and renovating a 1930 catalog house in Millis, MA.
