Maxwell Bendert
Growing up here, fun activities was always part of my everyday life – I remember biking around my neighborhood with my friends, playing sports, being outside, enjoying a pretty fun childhood. But as I finished high school, I had this deep desire to see the world. I guess the jump off point in embarking on…

I’ve lived in Broome County my entire life and I really can’t imagine it any differently. My whole family is all right here. My wife and I both grew up in Broome County and have been able to watch our children grow up here too, all while creating good lives for ourselves and those we…

I was born and raised here, and have been a proud “Binghamtonian” my whole life. I live on the west side of Binghamton, right next door to my sister’s family, both of our houses have been in our family for generations. My wife Cindy and I both have deep local roots. I have always enjoyed…

I grew up in Endwell and went to Union-Endicott High School and Binghamton University before transferring to Cornell University, where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial…
Travis Maus and Ryan Berkeley
Stimulating. Ethical. Exceptional. Duty. For Travis Maus and Ryan Berkeley, these words extend beyond meaning and represent the reason for forming their Broome-based financial firm, S.E.E.D. Planning Group. Building S.E.E.D. has afforded Maus and Berkeley the opportunity to provide services they’re passionate about to clients, while creating a local business that reflects their personal values…
Amelia Lodolce
I’ve been in Broome County for 20 years now.

VINES, which stands for Volunteers Improving Neighborhood Environments, has been an integral part…

I attended Union-Endicott High School before going to SUNY Cortland for both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. For as long…
