Hello, ’12 fam! I’m writing this dispatch from gloomy London, where I’ve been thrilled to spend time with the newly engaged Rachel Moncton and Matt Oatway, as well as soon-to-be graduate of London Business School Erica Serpico. While the climate could be improved, I couldn’t hope for a better crew to post up in a cozy pub with.

Let’s start this off with a baby alert! Thrilled to be able to share this news. Natalie (Obermeyer) and Matt Hunter welcomed their first child, William, in January: “If other ’12s come visit New Hampshire we would love to connect and introduce you to him!” Liz Doe Stone and her husband, Zach, welcomed to the world in November baby Charlie, who is now taking on snowy Montreal. Finally, Bianca Zlatea and hubby Donnie Surdoval ’10 were joined by cutie Don in January—a New York City baby!

Alfonso Villegas writes in, “I recently celebrated two and a half years as a Washington County deputy state’s attorney in Vermont. I represent the state in our adult drug treatment court, which is one of three in Vermont. Our drug court is the largest it has ever been in terms of the number of participants we currently serve. And I recently won a suppression motion in a conspiracy fentanyl trafficking case. Also, I am running for a seat on the Vermont Bar Association board of managers.” Cheers to Alfonso!

Rohan Chaudhary is currently working toward his M.B.A. at Duke and loving life. He welcomes any outreach from those visiting Durham, North Carolina, between now and May 2021 (or in Washington, D.C., this summer when he’s interning there).

David Rogg is striking out on his own, having recently founded a new venture capital firm, Reformation Partners.

Jenny Thapa has wed Max Zimmerman, a Boston College ’12. The couple moved to Los Angeles last summer and plan to celebrate their nuptials with a traditional Nepalese ceremony in Jenny’s hometown of Kathmandu in early December. 

Dan Rozenfeld is engaged to Carolyn Sims, a Stanford ’13. The couple met in investment banking at Goldman Sachs and attended Harvard Business School together thereafter. Carolyn popped the question to Dan during Valentine’s Day Weekend. 

Alannah Phelan married Michael DiBenedetto ’10 in October in Newport, Rhode Island. Both are residents at UMass, Alannah in plastic surgery and Michael in orthopedic surgery.

Bill Lehmann, Michael Schwartz, Max Pillsbury, Henry Hutcheson, Greg Certo, and Paul Jarvis visited Ryan Milligan in Houston in January for the crew’s annual meetup. They’re looking forward to getting everyone back together for Max’s wedding to Annie McDonough in June and Bill’s wedding to Christina Danford in August.
