40 under Forty winners (from left) Evis Wilmes Terpollari, Kham Inthirath, Matthew Abraham and Amadeus Finlay.
Abraham has managed the environmental site assessment and remediation effort of properties throughout Worcester County as part of Tighe & Bond’s Worcester office for more than 12 years. The goal is to see abandoned properties thrive again.
In addition to his day job, Abraham has coordinated 24-hour emergency response services for utility companies to clean up hazardous material releases following disasters such as tornados, hurricanes and ice storms.
Abraham helped the Tighe & Bond team raise more than $175,000 for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in the Pan-Mass Challenge, a 192-mile bike-a-thon across Massachusetts. The PMC has been an important part of Abraham’s life, as he met his wife at his first ride in 2010.
What is your advice to aspiring young business people? Listen closely to people’s questions; it is the most effective way to help them.
Where do you get your motivation to succeed? Knowing that the results of our work ultimately help with the revitalization of properties.
If I hadn’t gone down this career path, I would have liked to...become a wildlife photographer.
