Master Road Scholar Walter Kiblin

Donald Atwood has been Director of Public Works in New Hampton for about three months. He had previously been the Road Agent in Bridgewater for 19 years. Prior to becoming Road Agent in Bridgewater, he worked as a laborer and equipment operator and studied forestry at UNH.

Donny takes many classes because he likes to obtain outside ideas from the courses and talking to others during the breaks. He knows others have the same problems as he does, and he’s interested in seeing their different approaches to similar problems.

Donny believes that he was offered his current position because he is a Master Road Scholar. He sends his employees to training whenever he can because he likes them to get ideas outside of their own work environment.

Donny and his wife, Sindee, have two children. Donny likes to take the kids trout fishing. He also enjoys camping, hunting, and watching the Winston-Cup races. He is a Deputy Chief with the Fire Department.
