Our CEO’s Q3 2024 Letter to Clients

It was the first time this falsehood by the Trump campaign has been highlighted so directly. The Harris campaign has tende...
Our CEO’s Q2 2024 Letter to Clients
As of this writing we have seen our former president convicted of federal crimes, our current president fumble during the first debate, Democrats circling the issue of the fumble like starving sharks (with a sense that their opinion matters), and Trump being shot at during a pre-convention rally.

Our CEO’s Q1 2024 Letter to Clients

Our CEO’s Q2 2022 Letter to Clients
There is a large, framed photograph in our office that NorthStar acquired shortly after we won equal marriage rights in Massachusetts. The photograph is of a sign that was held high during the June gay pride parade in 2004 that says, “Brown, Roe, Goodridge.” As I sat in the office with a beloved...
Our CEO’s Q1 2022 Letter to Clients
Many years ago, during a rainstorm, I ran outside to pick some tomatoes from my garden and, while doing so, was suctioned into the wet, mucky soil.
