Amy Alvino
Amy Alvino has officially boomeranged back (now with the welcome additions of her husband and son!). Prior to coming home, Amy lived in NY and was pursuing theater and working in the fashion industry for companies like Dior and Lilly Pulitzer. She also met her husband during that time. Love for her hometown prevailed; they married here in Greensboro, a wedding attended by many of their new friends (who, of course, fell in love with Greensboro during their visit).
Brian Wells Daniel
Brian Wells Daniel made his return to Greensboro just a couple of months ago. Brian is a double boomerang! First, he moved to VA for grad school, then returned to his undergrad home at Guilford College as an administrator. After that, he spent time in PA and KY, before heading to Asheville, NC - his most recent location prior to making his way back home to work at UNCG as the Assistant Dean of Students. Brian is thrilled to be close to family and long-time friends once again. He plans to get re-established on a local kickball league and looks forward to scouting out great hiking spots in our area.
Crystal Kiser
Crystal Kiser and her family are newly back to Greensboro. With her son now 5 years old, she is especially excited to be able to share this special city and its culture with him.
Joey Cheek
Joey Cheek has returned to Greensboro with his wife, Tamara, and son, Jack. Many remember Joey for winning an Olympic gold medal for speed skating in the 500-meter at the ‘06 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. We celebrated Joey on Joey Cheek Day that year and are excited to celebrate him as a Boomerang today!
Seth Vaughan
Seth Vaughan hopped from coast to coast to make the return to Greensboro from Santa Barbara, CA. Now a Business Partner at the Center for Creative Leadership, he and his wife, Tamara, are spending their free hours restoring a farmhouse on the north side of town.
Madison and Carr Allen
Madison Allen and her husband, Carr, have made their return to Greensboro. Now an attorney and physical therapist, respectively, Madison and Carr began dating as seniors in high school at Grimsley. Back with their daughter, Ellis, they’re loving their Fisher Park neighborhood, complete with holiday caroling outings with neighbors, along with Greensboro’s walkability, parks, feeling of community, and being close to family once again.
Carmen Allred
Carmen Allred navigated her way back to Greensboro after living in both Orlando, FL and High Point, NC… and now she works as Taproom Manager at one of our town’s most beloved drinking spots, Little Brother Brewing. Carmen is loving the easy, affordable access to travel via Greensboro’s Piedmont Triad International Airport as well as being back “in the middle of the greatest state in the country.” When she’s not at work, catch her having a cocktail at GIA or having a meal at one of the many great dining destinations in town.
Scott Smouse
Scott Smouse, known to many as Coach Smouse, has made his way home to Greensboro after several years away in places including Baton Rouge, LA and Scooba, MS. He’s relieved to have closed the gap between himself and his family, back in a city full of friendly people with lots of opportunities to get outside.
Sally Wielgus
Sally Wielgus has made her way home from Norfolk, VA to Greensboro, a place she’s been away from since age 14. She brings with her husband Ryan and their daughter. After living in some reputable cities, including San Diego and Boston, Sally didn’t expect to be coming back - but the birth of her daughter and the pandemic brought about a change of heart - which is why she circled back to this place she says has “everything we were looking for.”
Nathan Powell
Nathan Powell moved back to Greensboro after spending a few years in Brooklyn working in the fintech industry. He has held various positions in startups and growth companies across the U.S. and Europe, ranging from product management, operations, and finance.
