Four-years ago, a friend of mine proposed we go skydiving. Jump out of a plane on purpose? It was summer, and we were bored, so I said, “sure”. I don’t think I’d do it again, but it was fun. The best part was that when we were in the plane, I suddenly realized I had […]
Smog hung heavy, obscuring the Manhattan skyline in the distance as I sat unmoving on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, thousands of New Yorkers honking away their frustration at spending a muggy summer afternoon in traffic. I was on the way back to my Brooklyn apartment from a 30-minute horseback-riding lesson at a barn on Long Island. […]
Last month, I wrote about home, so I thought this month I’d write about housing. More specifically, workforce housing – the type of housing New Hampshire badly needs. As the Executive Director of the Workforce Housing Coalition of the Greater Seacoast, I live and breathe this topic, so I knew I’d eventually write about it here. […]

Dear Granite Stater, I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing to thank you for the granite that now runs through my veins. Wait, what? Perhaps I should clarify. See, reader, 12 years ago, when I was 17 years-old — just barely a senior in high school — I was a passenger in what was a […]
According to Wikipedia, the term young professional refers to “young people in their 20s and 30s who are employed in a profession or white-collar occupation.” However, with New Hampshire’s aging demographic, YPNs are more focused on building lasting relationships regardless of industry and not how old individuals are.

One of my favorite things about living in downtown Durham is the proximity to almost everything I need. There is a pharmacy, grocery store, post office, hair salon, and a variety of restaurants and small shops. I can even walk to things I don’t need, but am grateful for nonetheless, like a candy store and […]
