Been loving the salty LIFE on LONG ISLAND since birth – our family has deep roots on the east end where we have spent our summers boating, beaching, swimming, and the list goes on. I now pretty much call the North Fork my home, where I get to enjoy the coastal lifestyle full-time.
I bring a 30-year background in graphic art and production to LI Living, along with a passion for photography, fine arts & crafts, and interior design.
Hope you enjoy the journey with us celebrating the amazing life we are blessed with here.
