Where did you spend your Pandemic Summer?
Bouncing back and forth between NYC and East Hampton

With who?
Just me and my pets!

Summer Highlight:
Living in close proximity to my horse made it possible for me to ride almost every day. We have made insane progress together, and I couldn’t be more obsessed with the sport and my baby Q.

What are you looking forward to about Fall?
I love fall weather and the fashion it comes with. Light coats, cute layers, pretty sweaters… get outta my way!

Where did you spend your Pandemic Summer?
In Alpharetta, Georgia. We chose to move down south when the pandemic decided to stick around for the long haul and make new roots in Georgia (where I am originally from).

With who?
My husband (Ryan) and our eight-month-old son (Fox)

Summer Highlight:
Taking our sweet new babe to the beach for the first time. We spent a week in June split between Carolina Beach, SC and Okracoke Island, NC. We got to spend a lot of quality family time with grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins. It was so refreshing to get a beachy change of scenery.

What are you looking forward to about Fall?
Pumpkin everything. Pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin picking, pumpkin beer with sugar on the rim, pumpkin pie, pumpkin candles, ALL THINGS PUMPKIN, PLEASE.

Where did you spend your Pandemic Summer?
In my 650-square-foot apartment

With who?
My now-wife (Ariel)

Summer Highlight:
Getting married 3x in one year (fortunately, to the same girl). We had to postpone our big Charleston wedding twice because of the pandemic and we ended up eloping on a rooftop in Hoboken with a limited guest list.

What are you looking forward to about Fall?
College football (c’monnnn Big 10!)

Where did you spend your Pandemic Summer?
Manhattan

With who?
Enjoying being back in the city and catching up with friends and family who I didn’t see during the early days of quarantine.

Insight gained from this Summer:
Home is where my people are. Manhattan is now void of the many activities that give it so much appeal: live theatre and music, indoor dining, and other attractions which are now unavailable to New Yorkers. Still, the energy here is second to none, and New York has found a way to come alive even in the midst of a pandemic. The outdoor cafes and parks are bustling. Nothing can keep us down, and spending these moments with the people I love is the most rewarding part of life.

What are you looking forward to about Fall?
Fall is my favorite time of year in NYC. The weather and the energy is one of new beginnings, and we certainly could use a fresh start this year! I am looking forward to positive change and progress. 2020 has been a reset for us all and I believe that good things are on the horizon with the election and hope for a vaccine.

Where did you spend your Pandemic Summer?
Montauk and the Hamptons

With who?
I spent my summer 2020 with my family in Montauk! I was blessed to also spend my summer in the Hamptons with The Whitman Team from Triplemint.

Insight gained from this Summer:
Summer 2020 was a summer the whole world will remember. The impact of the pandemic brought many families together and many families apart. There were times for all who felt fear and comfort all at once. I was truly blessed during the summer 2020 pandemic to become a part of a new family – The Whitman Team in the Hamptons. I learned to never give up and always smile at others along the way. These past six months made me appreciate my family, friends, and work more than at any time in my life. This picture really makes me happy, as all five of us went through different challenges with leaving schools, saying goodbye to friends, remote work, remote school, not seeing other family members, and adjusting to this new way of life. We all laughed and enjoyed this night together as we parted on our way the next day to start Fall 2020!

What are you looking forward to about Fall?
All of Fall 2020! We won’t give up and keep positive!! Goodbye summer, and we welcome all that will be fall 2020!

Where did you spend your Pandemic Summer?
On Cape Cod in Falmouth, MA

With who?
A wonderful man, his family, and friends

Summer Highlight:
My golly! Summer went by fast! One of my favorite days of summer was my first time visiting Nantucket, for a special occasion, and it couldn’t have been more romantic. We took the boat on a two-hour, sunny, wavy ride out there, had a mouthwatering sunset dinner, watched the boats come in and out at Straight Wharf restaurant (highly recommend going if you’re out in Nantucket), and spent the rest of the evening savoring the moment (see pic of the morning after, leaving the island).

What are you looking forward to about Fall?
I’m curious and excited to see how the energy and adjustments to NYC reveal itself. I always find the seasons bring on a different wave of vibrancy in the city, and this fall, I’m sure will be noticeably unique, or maybe it won’t! Either way, I can’t wait!

Where did you spend your Pandemic Summer?
East Hampton

With who?
My family (wife Jen, and kids Colin and Charlie)

Summer Highlight:
My personal highlight was watching my city kids learn how to ride bikes and swim. My professional highlight was joining a collaborative team – The Whitman Team.

What are you looking forward to about Fall?
Learning how to surf in my new neighborhood at Ditch.

Where did you spend your Pandemic Summer?
I spent a lot of time out with clients – I became a Citi Bike pro (okay… maybe not a pro). Outside of work, I spent a lot of time on my roof.

With who?
My lovely boyfriend, Eric

Summer Highlight:
We did Whole30 in August, and it was truly wonderful. I explored cooking new foods and healthy takes on some of my favorite foods, like pad thai! Also, halfway through the summer, we decided we would get a Zipcar membership. During the pandemic, we needed to have the ability to do some outdoor activities. We started taking socially distanced day trips to go kayaking and tubing down the Delaware River.

What are you looking forward to about Fall?
We got a puppy at the beginning of September!!! His name is Remy (for Remsen Street, our first home together in Brooklyn Heights). He is a 10-week-old Corgi, and we are obsessed with him. For a daily dose of Corgi puppy cuteness, check out my Instagram. Needless to say, we’re excited to have him explore BK all fall with us.

Where did you spend your Pandemic Summer?
Good old Long Island City and shooting back and forth to Manhattan and Brooklyn, with a few Jersey Shore excursions

With who?
My wife, two boys, dog, and 14 plants

Insight gained from this Summer:
Health and family are the most important things in life. Everything else will fall into place when those are cared for.

What are you looking forward to about Fall?
Sweater weather! Crisp morning runs and no more showing up to appointments drenched in sweat.
