Greetings From the Garden State began as a simple idea: find the stories that make New Jersey feel like home.

Over the years, it became something pretty big! A way to celebrate the people, places, and communities that define this state. We sat on bar stools, boardwalks, kitchens, breweries, nonprofits, and everywhere in between. We met the makers, the dreamers, the lifers, the grinders, and the quiet heroes who make New Jersey what it is.

This show gave me some of the most meaningful conversations of my life. It connected me to towns I’d never spent time in, businesses I’d never heard of, and people who trusted me with their stories. For that, I’m grateful in ways a paragraph can’t cover.

But all stories evolve, and so do the ways we tell them.

Greetings From the Garden State isn’t ending.
It’s becoming something new.

The spirit, the curiosity, the love for place, the Jersey DNA…it all continues in my new project:

Local Originals

It’s the next chapter of everything this show stood for:
real conversations in the places that still mean something.

Thank you for listening.
Thank you for believing in the idea.
And thank you for being part of this ride.

I’ll see you on the other side.
