Dominic Lucente ('98)

Dominic and Meredith welcomed son Jack on 10/06/2007. Dominic says, "I can't believe God saw fit to make me a Dad!! Life as I knew it is over, and I couldn't be happier. Jack is now six months old and we have our hands full. He is crawling, playing, laughing, crying, and eating. That's usually in the first fifteen minutes of his day. Meredith stays home with Jack and is an exceptional mom. God really wired them differently because I could never do her job. I am still doing financial planning and work is going well." The Lucente's live in Goffstown, NH.
