Abbie’s journey with Monadnock Media Group started back in the summer of 2016 when she joined as an intern and never left. She was hired soon after, working part-time in the news department before stepping into the full-time role of afternoon news anchor and reporter in 2019. By 2022, she had taken the reins as News Director.

Along the way, her work earned her multiple Granite Mike awards from the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters, including honors for Best Newscast, Spot News, and Documentary News—recognition she proudly shares with her newsroom team.

A Monadnock Region native, Abbie graduated from Monadnock Regional High School in 2014 before heading to Franklin Pierce University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications with a focus on Journalism in 2018.

Abbie is grateful to continue serving the community she’s always called home. When she’s not at the radio station, you’ll find her spending time with family, especially her loving husband David, her beloved nieces and nephews, and her fur baby, Roxie.

Sean Patrik began his radio career as a news announcer in Rancho Cucamonga, California in the early 90s. He worked in a similar capacity as news director at a three-station group in San Luis Obispo before winning a job as the non-psychic host of The Psychic Friends Radio Network in Los Angeles. After that show went bankrupt—much to the surprise of the psychics involved—Sean worked weekends as a news announcer on KFI-AM, Los Angeles’s #1 radio station.

In 2001, Sean returned home to New England where he was the operations manager and morning announcer on a Monadnock Region country music station from 2001-2017. In 2007, he won a Golden Mike Award as New Hampshire’s top air personality. In 2023 he won the Granite Mike Award for Best Newscast.

Sean grew up in Massachusetts and New Jersey and spent lots of time on his stepfather’s property in New Ipswich as a youngster where he fell in love with New Hampshire. In 2007 he was elected to the Richmond, NH Board of Selectmen.

When not working in radio, Sean has worked as manager of a Thom McAn shoe store, an electronic editor, a magazine editor, a website proofreader, an audiobook narrator, and most recently as a crew member at Trader Joe’s. Among other things.

After five years away, Sean is happy to be back in New Hampshire, excited to be back in the local news business, and thrilled to be part of the Monadnock Broadcasting Group.
