We have known Josh Gerritsen for several years and in several capacities: A farmer whose excellent products we buy, a professional filmmaker, and as a co-member on the Lincolnville Lakes and Ponds Committee, which he joined over a year ago. In every instance Josh revealed himself to be remarkably able, always arriving on time, thoughtfully prepared, and ready for the task at hand. He is a good listener and a creative problem solver. He is affable and easy to get along with, yet not afraid to ask questions or speak his mind. There is no question that he will bring these abilities to the Select Board and to the service of our community, where he grew up and has chosen to live. Lincolnville is fortunate indeed to have such a dedicated young man ready and willing to devote time and intelligence to our community. 

It is worth noting that Josh has already made several contributions to Maine. In 2014 he produced a film, How County Government Works, available on YouTube.

In 2016, he produced a video on Pitcher and Coleman ponds that he showed to the Select Board so that they might appreciate the individual character of these two ponds and was very well received by them. That same year he also filmed and edited a movie about Riley School, among others now in his resume. No doubt he will continue to generously give his talents as a photographer and filmmaker to the town.
