Family of four + our Frenchie fur baby, Bane. Caden (15) is our teenage digital ninja. He loves everything dogs, movies, and video games. Our daughter Rylan (10) stays very busy between dance, soccer, ukulele lessons, and anything outdoors.
My husband (Jason) is the real sports fanatic: but my favorite teams are The Washington Commaders, Boston Red Sox, Carolina Hurricanes, UNC Tarheels (Jason pulls for Duke...insert thumbs down emoji.)
The NC mountains are my home away from home. There are many areas of the Caribbean and Mexico that I love, but my real love is on a snowboard in the western US.
I am a peloton fanatic (meow27), love biking, walking, yoga, stretching, bootcamps especially at 5am! Organizing, designing digital photo albums and reading are my “therapy” in my time away from friends and family.
I am lucky to have lived in beautiful NC all of my life. I do sometimes miss my days living in Wilmington, NC.

I "found" my fiancé Joe Bohan on Match.com in 2019. Our dog Cooper keeps us entertained and ensures we take plenty of walks. My daughter, Christine works for the State Department in D.C. while my son Dave and his wife Fabiola live in Sarasota, FL.
Joe and I play tennis and pickle ball. My favorite teams are from Boston/New England and I am a life long Red Sox fan. I root for whoever is playing against the Yankees!
Anywhere with water! The Caribbean, Hawaii, and New Zealand have been my favorites.
I love boating and throwing parties at our beach house during the summer. Yoga helps me practice self-care both physically and emotionally.
I have lived all over Connecticut over the past 40 years and have been happiest here in Milford. I grew up in Massachusetts near Cape Cod. I really enjoyed living in France and Germany during my junior year in college.

Shea Raydo

Corporate Culture
I am married to Matt Raydo and together we have two kiddos, Sloane (12) and Leyton (8).
Before kids, I was an avid sports fan. Now, not as much. I do love football and basketball. Those would be my favorites. I'm also a graduate of NC State University here in Raleigh, so I am a Wolfpack fan!
Any beach that is warm and sunny. I also loved Sedona, Arizona. Turks and Caicos is on my bucket list.
I love to craft when I have time, wrap gifts, decorate, and go to the beach. I also love bird watching and am thinking of getting into photography.
Grew up in Wade, NC, lived in Winston-Salem, NC for a few years following school, but settled back to the Raleigh/Wake Forest area.
