I am from Harford County, Maryland, a bit north of Baltimore.
My grandma, Dappy, bought a little beach box in KDH in 1967, and that started it all. The magic of the Outer Banks, particularly the summers, has played a very special & pivotal role in my childhood & life so far.
I have two younger brothers and we all three grew up playing lacrosse, each to go on and play at the collegiate level. I earned my undergraduate at Winthrop University in South Carolina & my Masters Degree at The University of Lynchburg in Virginia.
I moved to Boston after grad school and loved it, but ended up moving home to help care for my grandfather, Grampsie, during his golden years. Life showed me what was important and I listened, which brought me back down to the beach.
My partner, Owen Spalding, is from Kitty Hawk & we have two cats, Cheddar and Gucci. We bought our first home together almost two years ago on the same block as the family cottage, neighbors for life!
I bartend and serve at the Kill Devil Grill; I am people forward, thrive amongst organized chaos & working as a team, and genuinely care about prioritizing the clients experience.
