My great love is sharing food and music with the people and community that I care for.

My great-grandmother Molly left Georgia after some questionable business decisions around a tobacco crop at the end of World War One. She was an independent woman who started a restaurant and ran it successfully through the great depression. Molly's daughter married a restaurant equipment salesman and their daughter married the son of a city restaurant inspector.
Although I've lived most of my life north of the Mason-Dixon, and my parents are a CPA and a teacher, it wouldn't be too wrong to say that I have roots in the South and the restaurant business runs in my blood.
