Hi! I’m Mariah Kurtz. I live in Greenfield, MA where I have lots of wonderful friends who are looking for partners. I’ve often wondered who my friends’ wonderful single friends are, and if they’d get along with mine. I love love, of all kinds. In the past I’ve brought together people I’ve met in wildly different places and successfully introduced them as friends or romantic partners, so I decided to create this project and dedicate my year to it. I don’t have any magical powers, just the gift of gab, a large network, and the ability to manage a spreadsheet.

When I’m not scheming who should go on dates, I’m working in local government, volunteering to build affordable homes, hiking with my dog, or snuggling with my cat. In the summer you can find me paddling or swimming, in the winter you can find me in the gym or cross-country skiing. Spring is for consuming maple syrup and fall is for harvesting the garden. I got lucky and have spent the past decade with an incredible partner.
