Hello, we are so grateful to have you with us! Grab a cold one and settle in.

Amanda here, long time resident of the “Longleaf Pine”. I grew up on Longleaf Pine Road in rural MD and made my way to the Land of the Longleaf Pine and my beloved Raleigh, NC. If you need me, you can find me scrolling through Twitter like a madwoman, crashed on the couch for some reality TV (Below Deck, anyone?), bopping around local breweries, or out in the woods with our dog, Luna. I am a lover of food magazines, inclusive sexual health, google docs, excel spreadsheets, natural wine, soup dumplings, and political punditry.

My dearest partner in crime for more than a decade, Luke, is also along for the ride. As resident photographer, I am always stuck staring at his backside in front of any good view. His favorite place is curled up in his office, with salted peanuts and red wine at the ready, for a night of photo editing and Spotify jamming. He is an expert playlist creator, shoe fanatic, Untappd legend, software wizard, and #1 lover of the resident grumpy cat, Edgar.
