Director of Outside Sales

In his own words

I look forward to going to the local farmers’ market for first dibs on the best seasonal products, planning a menu on the fly, inviting friends over, and enjoying a great meal.

I love watching movies and would say that “The Godfather Part II” might have to be my favorite.

I used to row competitively in high school for the Los Gatos Rowing Club, which taught me discipline, team work, and how to function at 5 am. Rowing was really the only sport available for a 6′1″, 145-lb sophomore who wasn’t aggressive enough for basketball or football.

Some things left on my bucket list: sky diving; traveling to Asia; eating at Thomas Keller’s French Laundry restaurant; summiting Mt. Everest (never climbed before, just think it would be an amazing challenge); and going into space.
