Alec and his wife Sally moved full time to the Vineyard in 2019, coincidental with his retirement from Harding Loevner, an asset management firm in New Jersey where he was a portfolio manager and a partner. The restorative power of the outdoors and hiking have been a constant in their lives and those of their three children, with Jockey Hollow National Historical Park in New Jersey, the AMC huts in the White Mountains and the trail system here on the island all being an important part of their daily routine. His formative years were spent on Chappaquiddick before buying a house, in 2010, in Chilmark between Quitsa Pond and Squibnocket Beach. Alec is also a trustee of the Martha’s Vineyard Community Foundation.
