Carmine (pronounced Car-meen) Coco De Young grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. As a former educator she enjoys presenting at schools across the United States. Her work and research have led her on many an adventure. Once described as having a “compass in her blood,” Ms. De Young enjoys the open road. However, that same compass always points her back to the place she loves best - Ridgefield, Connecticut where she resides with her husband, children, and a dog named Gabby.
