Ihr Sommer-Haus - nahe am Strand, Geschäfte, Cafés, & Ferry!

I grew up in Chestnut Hill, MA - a suburb located about 15 minutes West of Boston. After graduating from Boston University, I started my career in marketing in New York City. It was in NYC where I met my future wife, Nicole. Though we both loved NYC, we knew we were ready for a change. When Nicole got accepted into the Kellogg Business School at Northwestern, it was apparent that Chicago would be our next destination. Shortly after our arrival in Chicago, Nicole and I got married. And in October of 2012 we had our first child Julian, or 'Jude' - inspired by my adoration of the Beatles. We love Chicago (although we miss NYC) and we're fortunate to have family in the Chicago area with whom we're very close.

Each year for the past 15 years, we anxiously await the arrival of the warm New England months to embark upon our summer get-away. Despite growing up in the western suburbs of Boston, I hadn't actually visited Martha's Vineyard until well into adulthood. Many of my summers were spent at Summer camp in the Berkshires. During high school and college, perhaps due to my family's NY roots, we tended to vacation in the Hamptons over the summers. So, it wasn't until my mother bought the property in 2000 that I fell in love with the Island and subsequently this home. The home with it's spacious floor plan and warm, island aesthetic has provided family, friends, and guests with lots of fond summer memories. And with the recent arrival of our first child, Julian, we look forward to creating more memories for our growing family.
