In addition, Hawley partners with dozens of vendors and in-kind sponsors to secure and distribute all PMC event provisions and coordinates the vital resources that support 18 operational locations during PMC ride weekend each August.

Hawley is a Boston College alum and currently lives in Natick with his wife, children, and dog Rocco.
