ABOUT
I did not make these delicious dumplings.
But I did enjoy eating them.
My Story
Investor and advisor to startups (technology, retail, real estate, and hospitality). Commercial real estate investor, broker, and developer.
Proprietor of a gorgeous craft cocktail bar.
Board member of Sojourner House. Trustee of Lincoln School. A certified barbeque judge from Kansas City Barbeque Society.
Interests include: improving my mediocre skiing abilities, developing craft cocktails, connecting great people to each other. Food is my love language.
Mother to 3 strong ladies: a firecracker who likes to break dance at farmer's markets and eats Slim Jim's and calamari, a Pokemon loving middle child whose first word was "Moana", and a determined youngest who eats smoked salmon every day. True fact: Oldest daughters were born on the same day, 3 years apart. Wife to a fantastic partner and fellow adventurer.
Currently resides in Providence, Rhode Island.
