About Carson

In the Beginning

I was born and raised in a small coastal town in southern Maine. I am the youngest of three, and an only son, who grew up under the watchful eye of
two older sisters. Up until high school, I attended public school and then in
high school, went off to a small private day school…when I say small, my graduating class was 28. While stifling at times, it taught me that a hands-on, one-on-one education can make a difference. I also played sports—tennis, skiing, track and field. My summers were spent in northern Maine at our
cottage in the lakes region, and as I got older, I attended summer
camp…eight weeks on the coast of Maine.

Looking back, I could not ask for a more perfect childhood. My parents taught
me to value all that Maine had to offer, however, we were always reminded of the world beyond, and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity while in school to travel to Russia, Spain, Thailand, as well as numerous trips around the U.S.

Leaving the Nest

I attended a small liberal arts college in the Midwest and moved to NY shortly after graduation. Before arriving full-time in New York City, I headed off to Europe on my own for three months…eating cans of beans and sleeping outside was certainly an adventure. (No worries, I have now graduated to a more safe and comfortable forms of travel.)

Since moving to New York City, I have pursued a career in public relations and public affairs…I am currently employed with a large jewelry retailer that I feel honored to be working for and truly value the company and the products we create. I have two loving parents, a strong network of friends and colleagues, and above all, a loving husband and dog to share my life with.

I thrive at work but also look forward to the weekends, when Steve, Sadie and I spend quality time together. I enjoy cooking, yard work, reading, hosting friends, movies, and biking, but nothing makes me happier than walking my dog in the back corn field on a beautiful morning. I am currently learning golf but am also active with tennis, skiing, biking and am contemplating doing a marathon of sorts…maybe a 5K to start.

I plan to take time-off when the baby arrives but will continue working to support the family.

Steve Talks About Carson

Carson is caring, supportive, generous, and will make the most incredible father. He has a great sense of humor and has never lost the sense of child inside of him. Carson is smart, funny, adventurous, compassionate and strong. I take comfort in knowing that no matter what happens around us, Carson will stand by my side with unconditional love. Every day of my life with Carson, I feel loved and so lucky that we are together.
