small group, big life.

Newly weds leading the group, this computer software engineer and high strung marketing coordinator balance each other, and their group.  His laid back go with the flow personality and her energetic activating ways ignite their group with good discussions and their love for hosing get togethers and spending time with their friends in the city, who they call family, are their passion.

Our fearless co-leader and the inspiration for this site's birth, this bubbly, fun loving, globe trotting diva gets the ball rolling on endless creative escapades. By day she's a Queens College education abroad promoting professional and by night a social butterfly painting the town red on any day of the week. She cannot live without margaritas, traveling, or her social networking.

Straight out of Texas, complete with twang and all, J is 
a legal billing coordinator and likes to crack jokes about anything he possibly can.  Yet a man of many ranges, he can go from silly, sarcastic, and witty to extremely serious, deep, and passionate.  Burgers and beer will make this man happy any day of the week.

New to the city with her southern charm, she's looking for her niche in fashion and has recently started two budding businesses (one of them with Melissa). When she's not nannying, you'll find her making peanut butter cookies, watching Grey's Anatomy, and drinking as much Diet Coke as possible in a day.

A Graphic Designer, iPhone App Developer, and kick butt Powers-Household Manager and Operator, these two lovebirds bring a unique flare to the group.  They're quirky, charismatic, and fun, with a deep love of their community and strong passion to help abolish slavery with NYC Love146.

Quiet with a powerful presence, this cute little bundle participates in his own way.  His favorite past times are staring, squealing, flailing his arms, and smiling.

A true spitfire and sweetest spirit, Shell likes to live life to the fullest: dinners and drinks and celebrating various things as often as possible. She wears a dozen hats at her job supporting the Executive VP of sales and managing a team of Coordinators.  Always dressed to the nines and with a smile on her face, her giggle and friendship will always cheer you up.

An entrepreneur at heart and as independent as they come, her latest ventures tested the waters in being a bike tour guide in Europe, co-owning a restaurant in Manhattan, and now possibly starting her own bakery in the midwest.  Living in the city for nearly eight years now, she's gone from student to finance to web development.  One of the cheeriest gals with the brightest smile!

Sweet and on the shyer side, this rare Manhattanite who owns a car loves to travel and spend time with her family. She's from Guyana and recently took some international trips to Columbia and back to her home town. She is actively involved in her home church but discovered Forefront's small groups online. She works in marketing in midtown and makes a killer tia maria dessert!

Born in Portland, raised in SoCal, and an urbanite through and through, she likes to give kisses, bounce from lap to lap, wear hair barrettes, and get lots of attention from anyone and everyone.  She loves traveling around in her bag, getting to leave the apartment and visit others, and getting treats at every chance she gets.
