Lynn joined SAGEbroadview in 2001 to bring her special brand of calm order to our sometimes hectic universe. These days, with our growing team across three offices, we still depend on Lynn’s talent for taking care of every little thing as we move full-speed ahead. Lynn has a way of making it seem easier than it is, often serving as our first point of contact for clients and visitors, while simultaneously tending to our smooth-flowing business operations.

 

Before joining us, Lynn completed a bachelor’s in marketing from Rutgers School of Business and initiated her professional career in the vibrant New York City’s garment center, selling women’s sportswear to major department stores in the city that never sleeps. From there, she became product manager at a private label company, overseeing a team of designers, production coordinators and cost analysts in creating product lines according to rigorous, private-label specifications.

 

In 2018, she and her husband Scott achieved a milestone every parent dreams of and dreads: Both of their children are now young adults. Their eldest daughter Sarah is embarking on her career as a physician assistant, while her younger brother Colin is at the University of Delaware, studying engineering. Lynn’s black lab, Kona, is doing all he can to fill the empty space left behind.

Biggest guilty pleasure

Hands down, it’s reading. I am often juggling three or more books at a time (and our Amazon bills show it): one on Audible and two hardbound. On vacation, I’m even worse. I should have a t-shirt that says, “I’d rather be reading a book.”

You are a sucker for…

Dogs. All of them, but especially our black lab, Kona. He’s got big paws and an even larger heart. He just loves to be wherever family is. In my next life, I think I’d like to be a veterinarian.

Favorite ways to unwind

I’ve been an avid yoga practitioner for more than 30 years. I find it a perfect way to maintain balance and harmony in my life. I also stay energized with a daily morning walk with our pup. I call it our “morning chill.”

From quiet beaches to the big city

Our favorite regular getaways reflect life’s balance. I love spending time by the water (book in hand). In fact, we dream of the day we might retire to a waterfront property, where the whole family can gather. But I also love the energy level of New York City, which we visit often. I think it’s good to have a mix of calm retreat and vibrant activity in life.

Now that the kids are grown

With the extra time, we’re trying to travel more. That said, I’m still getting used to not having almost all our focus centered around our kids’ lives! I know we have to let them figure out things on their own now.
