It’s been an interesting journey for Sam Decker and his wife Katy. The two grew up on the Island, and after high school they both followed their passions. Sam went off to Oberlin College and majored in creative writing. Katy began working in the kitchen at Atria in Edgartown when she was 17 years old, and in the off-season she traveled the world.
After graduating from college in 2006, Sam, a gifted fiddle player, did the indie-rock-band thing in Brooklyn for a couple of years, but got disillusioned with that music scene, and returned to the Island, becoming an assistant editor at The MV Times.
