Mashpee, MA – I’m a Mashpee kid, and I’ve got a lot of pride for where I’m from.

Timber and Flow – I come from a family of makers, and while I may be biased in putting up this link, you can’t deny hand carved craftsmanship.

Shannon Roddy Photography – Now Portland based but with NYC/Cape Cod roots. Hire this photographer. (She snapped that candid banner photo of me walking past a cave during an epic Balkans adventure!)

Languages – It’s really hard for me to contain myself when someone suggests that I have a facility for learning languages. It’s freaking hard. Takes a lot of repeat look-ups.

Royal Hibernian Academy – A artist based and artist orientated institution dedicated to developing, affirming and challenging the public’s appreciation and understanding of traditional and innovative approaches to the visual arts.

Olivia Fitzsimons – Writer. Flash fiction and so much more.

Ladies’ Turn – This project promoting soccer for women and girls in Senegal is simply awesome.

The Boston Bruins – Even if one of my favorite Bruins memories is this one. And this one might be a close second. I should probably also mention the Winter Classic.
