LIZ MECKES

Managing Director

My Family:

Originally from NJ, I live in Media, PA with my husband, Steve, and son, DJ.

What brings you joy outside of work?

Being outdoors, from the mountains to the beach, getting outside revives me. I miss playing competitive soccer and love teaching DJ as he becomes more interested. I love skiing and traveling to ski. I enjoy cooking, reading, and puzzles. I am a big Philly sports fan; I share a game plan to the Phillies with a group of friends. More than anything, I love being with my big family, especially in summer, in Ocean City or at my grandmother's pool.

What do you love most about the work you do?

I am fascinated by people; what excites them, drives them to help others, how they perceive different situations. What I love most is connecting people, ideas, and resources to young families to help them navigate these critical early years. I also enjoy that each day is different in the work we do.

What’s one fun fact about you?

I worked at a Rodeo from 12 - 15 when I was old enough to scoop ice cream at the original Richman's factory.
