I grew up in Massachusetts, a state steeped in rich history. As an 11th -generation Cape Codder, I quite literally walked in the footsteps of my ancestors every day. Yet for much of my life, I only had a passing interest in exploring my heritage. That is, until a few years ago when I inherited a treasure trove of old photographs, documents and family histories. My curiosity quickly became insatiable. The more I uncovered about my ancestors, the more I wanted to know - not just their names or how we were related, but who they were as people. Their stories captivated me.

What began as a hobby grew into a passion, and that passion became my career path. Today, I’m deeply committed to help others connect in meaningful ways with those who came before. Because their stories don’t just live in the past - they shape who we are in the present.
