Email: Joanna@visitgriffin.com
A native of Somerville, MA, Joanna has evolved into a true Anglophile after having spent her junior year of college in London. A trip “across the pond” is a casual event for her, as she has developed close ties to many people in her adopted city.
Although Joanna has been associated with Griffin Properties for several years, her exposure to the world of real estate development began in her previous position as the office and purchasing manager for a large construction company, a post that led to her becoming a licensed construction supervisor. The skills that she developed while helping to coordinate large scale construction projects in a timely and cost efficient manner have been transferred to her work at Griffin Properties, where she is known and respected in the real estate community as a diligent and efficient salesperson who takes pride in the level of detailed attention that she affords to her clients.
She holds a B.A. in Journalism from Westfield State College, and lives in the Porter Square neighborhood of Somerville.

Adam Levesque comes to Griffin Properties after 20 years in the computer game industry.

Blue Fang experienced considerable success for 10+ years, recognized most notably the game Zoo Tycoon published by Microsoft. At Blue Fang Adam was a Lead Designer, Executive Producer and Manager of over 50 people.
As the game industry went through a transition Adam realized it was time for a change. Since Chris and Adam have known each other for over 35 years and already worked together on real estate development projects it made sense for Adam to come work with Griffin Properties. Adam’s patience and ability to listen and solve problems will help him transition into the competitive world of real estate.
A native of Cambridge and a product of the Cambridge school system, Adam currently lives in Sudbury with his wife and two teenage children.
