All About Ted & Mackenzie

About Ted: 

I've always been an avid reader and was an English major in college. Despite rather poor math skills, I ended up in the business world and have an amazing job in the specialty and natural food industry where I get to utilize my love of food and a Type-A personality to grow sales for some extraordinary companies while getting to eat delicious meals along the way!  

My passions include fishing, going to music concerts, traveling, dining out and cooking meals for family and friends.  Holidays at our house are my time to shine in the kitchen! 

My parents raised my younger sister and I at the Jersey shore and I always can't wait for summer to come around!  

Growing up, we were always surrounded by family, which means the world to me. My Grandmother lived with us and my Grandfather and Aunt and Uncle lived across the street!  I'm lucky to still be surrounded by family who play a major role in my day to day life.

About Mackenzie: 

I earned my degree in Occupational Therapy and have worked in rehabilitation hospitals for 7+ years.  I help individuals return to their lives after hospitalization whether it's due to stroke, brain injury, or other illnesses.  My career is fulfilling and has helped shape who I am today.  It has taught me patience, stopping to appreciate life's small stuff, and continues to remind me of the importance of family each day. 

I love animals, food, music, spending time with family & friends, and traveling & exploring new places.  My favorite thing about traveling is fully immersing myself in the local culture, dining in a variety of restaurants and learning about the history.  

I have two siblings - a brother and a sister, both married. My sister has two boys.  My parents just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last year.  I can be described as a cheerful spirit with an optimistic outlook, and can usually be found narrating my day through song.
