Our Founder's Culinary Adventure

As a proud resident of Brockport, I carry forward a rich legacy of local business and community involvement. My connection to this town is deep-rooted, grounded in a family tradition of entrepreneurship and service.

The entrepreneurial spirit runs in my blood. My mother's dance school, Kim’s Dance Connection, was a beacon in Brockport for 26 years, nurturing the talents of countless young dancers. Similarly, my sister's venture, Body by Summer, an aerobic studio that's been a town favorite for over a decade, has been a testament to our family's commitment to local business and community wellness.

My own path has been deeply intertwined with Brockport's business landscape. I spearheaded Bill Grays Brockport for five years, honing my managerial and operational skills. This experience was enriched further by my promotion to regional bar manager, where I played a pivotal role in the launch and management of new bar locations, cementing my expertise in the hospitality industry. In addition to real-world experience, I have pursued academic excellence, earning several certifications from renowned culinary schools. My career has been a journey of continuous learning and skill enhancement, ensuring that I stay at the forefront of industry standards and culinary innovation.

My background is a tapestry of lifelong commitment to the town of Brockport, its businesses, and its people. I bring to the table a unique blend of local understanding, family business acumen, and professional expertise.
