Born and raised in Portland, Maine. I have been around the waterfront, in Portland, all of my life. I worked as a dock hand at the marina as a child, crewed on many of my father’s power boats and, of course, worked in his restaurants. I earned a BS in biology from University of Vermont and went on to work in medical equipment sales in Southern California as a young adult, but home was always calling. The opportunity to manage the family marina came up, and I moved back east in 1995. I worked to create DiMillo’s into a cruising destination for yachts of all sizes and at the same time noticed the void of a higher end brokerage in Portland. I established a brokerage in 1997, quickly diversified into new boat sales, and today we offer the full package with a complete service department as well. While we have represented a few other brands in the past, we are happy to have focused on two of the leading brands in the business–Sabre Yachts and Back Cove Yachts.

She’s a member and founding Executive Director of the Maine Museum of Photographic Arts and an active member of the Women’s Executive Forum. Elizabeth has 20 years of art advisory experience in the contemporary and established art markets, certified by the Appraisers Association of America!

Hey! I’m Gabe, and I’m the Founder of Hearts. Consider me just your friendly fellow Mainer who wanted to contribute as much as he could to the city and state that he loves. Soccer, social good and an unrelenting (fortunately or unfortunately) desire to make a difference are sort of who I am, so here we are!

I’m a Portland resident and former Portland area youth soccer player, who went on to play in college, and professionally; followed by (gasp) a two year stint in the finance world in New York City; before coming home to contribute, to the best of my ability, the absolute most that I possibly can to the future vitality of the place that I call home. My role at Hearts is to do as much as I possibly can to ensure that we accomplish our mission of rallying the community and culture of Maine around Soccer, and to create a purpose-driven club that represents all those who have their hearts in Maine.
