Class Note 2010
Hey, ’10s. I hope all is well. Heading into year three out of college. I have to say, things get easier, no? Anyway, as usual, hit me up with your updates. I love hearing from you guys. Thank you to those who contributed to this issue’s column.
Jocelyn Krauss writes: “After spending a glorious super-senior fall at Dartmouth I moved to Portland, Oregon, in Spring 2011! I worked at an information and business design firm for a bit, but just started a new job at a public relations agency last month. The big headline here though is that Portland offers an amazing quality of life—I keep saying it’s a young, broke person’s paradise. The lifestyles of hiking, biking and recycling are pervasive, the weather is actually wonderful and the food, beer and coffee are always world-class. My inner geography major is also enjoying Portland as an urban development example—the public transportation is mostly free, the parks are numerous and beautiful, the streets are gridded and it’s all kept ridiculously clean! It definitely feels like a smaller city than others though—and I still miss that college scene of seeing all your best friends every day! If any of you lovely Dartmouth folk visit the Portland area, give me a shout!”
Mackenzie Howell is engaged and was to be getting married August 30 in Israel to Adam Saitowitz (UPenn ’08). Mackenzie and Adam will be living in Be’er Sheva, Israel. Congrats, Mackenzie! Write back and let us know how the wedding went.
Andrew Peisch recently moved to N.Y.C. and started to work at Clayton, Dubilier & Rice in New York. Andrew writes, “We’ve got a strong Dartmouth contingent here [at Clayton, Dubilier & Rice]—Ian and I share an office with Tyler Young ’09 and are right next door to Robert Volpe ’06.” Andrew lives with Kevin Davis and Towny Swiggett in N.Y.C. and works with fellow ’10 Ian Rorick. Previously Ian worked at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in mergers and acquisitions. Ian lives with Matt Broccolo, who’s at Fordham Law School.
Noah Dentzel recently founded a startup called ChargeCard. Noah definitely had the entrepreneurial spirit bubbling in him as an undergraduate, so for those who know Noah, this probably is not a huge surprise. Anyway, ChargeCard is a USB cable that’s “thin enough to fit easily into your wallet, purse or pocket. The product is the slimmest charging and data cable for iPhone.” Last I spoke with Noah (and from what I could gather from his infamous enthusiastic, somewhat tangential and at times esoteric e-mails), he is living in an RV, road tripping with his business partners around the United States promoting his product. I actually have a picture of the RV-type thing if anyone is interested. It sounds like Noah is living life to its fullest and making the most of every day. I hope we can try and show Noah some class of 2010 support as he moves around the country. Keep it up, Noah, and keep us posted!
Charlie Friedland and Scott Niehaus both recently began working at Summit Partners in Palo Alto, California. They are also living together in the suburbs, so if anyone is looking to have a Sunday night barbecue in Menlo Park, feel free to get in touch with them.
