GMG Power Rankings #6

Number 6 in the GMG Power rankings is Paulie Frontiero.

Paulie is the resident funny guy in the comment section.   Always breaking balls, but in a good way.  Paulie is a part of GMG in many ways.

He came through with the printing of the shirts for the Russo Family fundraiser, he contributes photos from events and scenes on the waterfront, and he’s a daily contributor in the comment section.

I can’t tell you enough how much I enjoy reading comments.  It lets us know you’re out there and watching what we do.  That feedback drives us to try to get better and better.

Our friend Damon helping out the sailboats that are at the floating dock off the State Fish Pier. One of the boats #13 capsized while practicing near the Paint Factory.
