Kate Morneau is the founding attorney at Morneau Law, focused on family law. Kate dreamed of being a lawyer from when she was a kid and despite some bumps in the road, pursued that goal tenaciously.

Fred Bramante is a self-proclaimed lover of rock-and-roll and education. His initial claim to fame was starting Daddy’s Junky Music in September of 1972, originally the smallest of over 11,000 music stores in the country, but grew to be the 15th largest in the United States. It’s a wild story full of excitement and heartbreak. Since Daddy’s closure, now he spends his days advocating for kids and changes to our education systems. Fred’s passion is palpable!
