Hi all,
Found this group on Threads, so I guess the algorithm got it right for once.
Long time social media and community manager here. My husband and I moved to Kingston from Austin, TX two years ago (he's from Texas, I'm from NY).
I'm also a member of the Programming and Marketing committees at the Rosendale Theatre, a non-profit, single-screen movie/performing arts theater that's been in continuous operation for 75 years (and community run for the past 15 years).

Hi all!
I've lived in the midtown area of Kingston for 3.5 years now with my partner , who's also a copywriter and scriptwriter and also from Brooklyn. We're fairly non-decisive most of the time (analysis paralysis to a comic degree), but as soon as we started coming up here it became very easy to stay.
I've done a tiny bit of volunteering for the local BOCES high school, giving a presentation on marketing and also helping students direct a short film for a technical competition (they won 3rd place!). That really made me want to do more in the community (the helping the kids, not the winning), and I can already tell this is a promising place for that.
I've got experience writing and creating all kinds of content for places like the Onion, Warner Brothers, Scribd, and Blavity, but mostly I've partnered with smaller businesses with fairly limited resources. I love to be creative and use comedy and storytelling when I can, but only if it aligns with a brand and their goals, audience, etc.
Really psyched to be here, and hopefully develop some deeper roots here in the HV!
And please pardon any typos, etc. I tried not to, but I've been thinking about the slimcilian at Sorry Charlie this whole time I was typing.

I'm Andy Reed. I moved to Tivoli in 2021 with my spouse and now 4 yo daughter. Originally from San Francisco, but have been coming here for the last 20 years to see family during the summers.
I work as a venture investor for NY Ventures, a state-run venture fund, where I am focused on Series A investments. I work out of the Albany office and travel all over the state to meet founders.
Outside of work I coach U5 soccer, sit on the local library board, and from time to time make it out for a slow bike ride with Utility Bike Works in Kingston or just down a wooded road on my side of the river. I am always looking for a body of water to jump into no matter the season and have been known to travel with an espresso machine if I'm entering a known coffee desert.

By day I'm in sales working for a proptech company remotely which can be isolating, so I'm happy I found this community and look forward to meeting and connecting with like minded folks here. Outside of work I enjoy golf, fishing, and listening to vinyl. Something about the crackle and listening to an album all the way through does it for me. Anywho, cheers to new connections

Hi Everyone, I found this place on Threads. Thank you for putting it together--the community up here is so much bigger than I realized.
I'm a San Franciscan originally, moved to NYC in 2010, then started spending more time in Staatsburg (just south of Rhinebeck) in 2021. I'm partnered to and together we are raising a 110lb Pyrenees/St-Bernard named Eloise.
I'm an occasional Rails programmer and entrepreneur and writer. But two years ago I took over running the blogging platform Medium.com and that's my main thing. There are actually a number of Hudson Valley focused publications on Medium: The Groundhog from Marist College, Inside+Out Hudson Valley, Hudson Valley Style.
I'm always available to talk about running businesses because I think the camaraderie is as valuable as the advice. We're generally hiring for two roles at any given time. Right now we have roles open for a community manager and for a (Go) backend engineer. I think after that will be business analysts, web front end (React) and more backend, engineering managers. Generally we are filtering for more experience and some exposure to scale.

Hi everyone! put me onto this group and I'm really glad he did!
Name's Christian and I live in Staatsburg with my wife, 3 dogs, and 1 cat. We moved up from Queens in late 2020. I primarily make a living through editing and visual effects for movies and streaming shows. But I've also had a foot in the podcast game for 10+ years and I'm into Filemaker development as I've built some custom solutions to help we with my other work.
Glad to be here and to know this group exists!
