Jessica Layne
Hello! I am owner and publisher of All Things New England. All Things New England began as  a vision to do good and contribute to community, it's people, and small businesses development. These founding principles remain intact today and are the fuel that propels us forward.
New England offers the best of everything from city life, culture, and diversity to country landscapes, ocean breezes, and mountain views...I can't imagine living anywhere else ! The changing seasons help keep my life in balance and my perspective fresh and new. 
All Things New England has given me the opportunity to meet some fabulous individuals and explore some remarkable places. It is my hope that we will continue to grow as a company, as individuals, and as a community while serving the greater good of New England.
 

Cliff Calderwood

Cliff Calderwood I moved to Massachusetts in 1981 for work and never left. I’ve always had a thirst for travel and toured Canada in 1976 and USA in 1980. Once I settled in New England and the Boston area I begun to explore and found a magnificent treasure trove of place. Within a few hours there are wonderful sandy beaches and rocky coastlines - there are gorgeous lakes and mountains to hike and climb. And of course there is the New England autumn – my favorite season. I also enjoy the vibrant cities with Boston and the history overshadowing everything about the region. But most I enjoy the peoples. Diverse and fiercely independent with different perspectives they make New England special.
