We're prepping for tonight's Vermont Lake Monsters game at 6:35 PM! Hope to see you there.

Our home opener was rained out yesterday, so why not play 2 games today? First pitch for game 1 is at 3:05 pm on the Delta Dental Diamond at Centennial Field!

What a fun afternoon! I’m so honored to be the guest on an upcoming episode of VCET’s podcast Start Here with Nicole Eaton and David Bradbury. I’ll let you know when it’s out in the wild.

Happy New Year from VERMONT STARTUP NEWS! Look for a new episode next week.

WOW! University of Vermont: National Champions

Had a ball with the Vermont Lake Monsters’ Front Office staff at SpareTime Entertainment in Colchester. There was even secret Santa happening there! Oh, and love to see Champ when you first walk in.

Turkey Trot in Naples, FL on Thanksgiving morning!

I’m at the LPGA, CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, FL watching World #1 Nelly Korda and her playing partner, Haeran Ryu. The winner grabs the largest LPGA check ever - $4 Million.

Was great to see NBC5 stars @TylerJankoski and Jack Main at the UVM hockey game Friday night!

I’m learning a lot at the “Summer Ball Summit” in West Palm Beach, Florida where owners and front office members from around the county are talking best practices at the baseball field. #baseball #summerball

Spent Saturday at the Presidents Cup Golf Tournament at the Royal Montreal Golf Club. There is nothing like seeing the best golfers in the world up close, including Vermont’s Keegan Bradley.

A huge thank you to SHRM Vermont State Council for inviting me to emcee their state conference last week at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Burlington Vermont. Who knew HR people could be THAT MUCH fun? It was a blast! #SHRMVT24 #Hula

What a great season with the Vermont Lake Monsters! Thank to all who came out for the fun at Centennial Field.

Big thanks to the Rotary Club of Essex Vermont for inviting me to speak at their meeting. The room was filled with lots of community-minded citizens armed with plenty of great questions about VERMONT STARTUP NEWS and the Vermont Lake Monsters!

Fireworks at the Lake Monsters game last night were excellent! Today at Centennial Field we’ll celebrate Champ’s Birthday with a bucket hat giveaway. Game time is 5:05 pm.

Fun event at the Fletcher Free Library Summer Challenge where Vermont Lake Monsters players and local authors Kate Messner, Loree Griffin Burns, Chris Tebbetts and Dayna Kaufman Lorentz read to visitors! And Burlington Mayor Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak stopped by with her family!

Cassidy & I had a ball hanging with rower Jacob Plihal at the Lake Monsters game yesterday. The crowd erupted when told Jacob will represent the USA at the Paris Olympics later this summer! Tonight at Centennial Field, it’s First Responders Night. Hope to see you there.

Cassidy did her part at the Lake Monsters game yesterday where 9,500 hotdogs were sold at 25¢ each. A big thanks to McKenzie Country Classics. Tonight, kids eat free at Centennial!

LaunchVT’s Demo Night Tuesday at Hula was a huge success with an excellent turnout. Congratulations to all 8 companies in the cohort for a memorable event.
