A Pioneer Valley GLORIOUS DAY is on the horizon…
Holyoke, MA is Gateway City on the rise, fortuitously situated in the heart of the Pioneer Valley, where I grew up, went to college (Mount Holyoke, in South Hadley) and have lived for nearly 20 years while raising my six children.
It’s a Renaissance City also, awaiting its rebirth, and I’ve seen for some time the potential to play a significant part in helping to bring it to life.
I’m looking forward to planting a powerful seed in this historic city that is both ripe and ready for renewal, and beautifully embedded in a region abundantly rich in resources of all kinds. It appears time for the long-awaited 21st century leap into new ways of life, and I’m of course very much looking forward to finally having a real place in to welcome Massachusetts friends - a home state base from which to bring even more possibilities to life!

Holyoke is near the intersection of the Mass Pike / Rt 90 (which runs the length of the state, from “Stockbridge to Boston”) and Rt 91 which runs north through Vermont to Quebec and south to the CT shore, so it is easily accessible from anywhere in Massachusetts and beyond - less than 90 mins to Boston and 4 hours to NYC, with Bradley International Airport (Hartford, CT) just 45 mins south.
