Get to Know Ned
As Written by Jenni
âIf anyone ever wants to get excited about something, all they need to do is to spend time with Ned. I mean it, his love for life is infectious, and he is genuinely excited to learn about his loved onesâ favorite things. His joyful nature is present in everything he does and that we do together. Watching him chase our dog Buggsy Mogues on the beach is a delight, just like seeing him learn the rules to a new board game or cheer enthusiastically for Gotham FC at a match. He can even run a Zoom meeting for 50 people with the same infectious energy. Nedâs energy and fun-loving nature make everyone smile no matter the circumstance.
Ned makes friends wherever he goes. Whenever we travel, we always come home with at least one new friend. If weâre at an event or a sports match, Ned will inevitably get the names of the people near us, and by the end, theyâll be chatting like theyâve known each other for years. He also makes sure to maintain his friendships, reaching out and checking in with people constantly. Nedâs commitment to fostering and maintaining community is one of the many things I love about him.
After spending time with Ned, anyone can tell that he was raised by teachers. He is excellent at helping people understand new things and explaining the things he knows without being a know-it-all. He is so approachable and genuinely cares about teaching people and meeting them where they are.
I canât wait to see Ned as a father, helping our child get to know the world. Ned has such a beautiful outlook on the world, and I am excited to watch him share his sense of wonder, joy, and fun.
Through all these wonderful qualities, Ned fills my life with so much love, laughter, and adventure. I feel incredibly lucky to have found a partner who brings such warmth and enthusiasm to our shared journey together.â

More About Ned
From Nedâs Own Words
I grew up in Portland, Maine, as a sports and theatre kid. In many places, thatâs an oxymoron, but it truly has defined most of my life and personality to this day. I work in the entertainment industry as an actor, singer, producer, and writer across the worlds of theatre, television, film, and podcasting. It took me a long time to build a sustainable career in that field, so to make ends meet when I was younger, I also worked in technology / app / web development, restaurants, real estate, financial technologies, and even briefly held a New York City taxi license. All of this has added up to a wild resume, a well-rounded collection of interests, and an appreciation for things I donât yet know.
My daily goal is to approach the world with empathy, joy, and a sense of fun. I love meeting new people, exploring new places, and finding new spots. I love bringing people together and introducing my friends who havenât met yet. Community is one of the most important things to me, and cultivating and growing mine is a lifelong passion.
In my spare time, one can find me pulling out a board game for game night, cooking a meal with Jenni, playing a video game, reading a book, or cheering on one of my sports teams with unbridled passion. I also collect minor league baseball hats and love to know about everyone I meetâs local team.
Iâm so excited to become a parent alongside Jenni. Growing our family has been something weâve talked about since we started dating in 2019, and I canât wait for this next adventure.
Ned fills my life with so much love, laughter, and adventure. I feel incredibly lucky to have found a partner who brings such warmth and enthusiasm to our shared journey together.â âJenni
