Bruce Curtis-McLane has been a Jackson resident since 2006. He and his wife Kate have been married 38 years and have two grown children. Their son also lives in Jackson where he runs a tree service and their daughter resides in Alaska and works in Denali National Park. Bruce retired from teaching in Hanover, NH where he taught social studies for 10 years at the middle school and 20 years at the high school. Prior to volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, Bruce was the shop teacher for one year.  When he learned about MWV Habitat for Humanity, he saw this as an opportunity to apply the building skills he acquired building his own house, and renovating others. He very much enjoys the camaraderie in working with fellow Habitat volunteers and views the experience as an opportunity to give back to others. His hobbies and interests include: wood turning; gardening; hiking and travelling.

Steve Pirello moved to Intervale in 2007 with Eleanor “Chickie” his wife of nearly 49 years. He and Chickie have 3 grown children and are also blessed with 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. He retired from BC Electric of Norwell, MA where he was an electrician for 40 plus years, including a foreman for the last 20 years. Steve began to volunteer with Habitat in 2008. He has been a regular volunteer since, often arriving to the work-site on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He regularly applies his electrical expertise to our home building process and is on the HFH Building Committee.

Steve volunteers because he enjoys the camaraderie of working with his fellow volunteers. He is an active member of the local Harley Davidson club, and he relishes his 3-season motorcycle touring throughout New England. They spend several weeks each winter in Florida. Steve is also an active member of the Our Lady of the Mountains Knights of Columbus.
