Background: Born and raised Ithacan. Lacrosse, sailing and outdoors enthusiast. I have been formally employed in coaching, hospitality, sales, marketing and advertising.
Favorite Ithaca meal: Sitting down with friends to a bottle of wine and tapas at Just a Taste. Becoming a vegetarian is a huge missed steak!
Favorite way to spend a Friday night in Ithaca: In the summer: watching a sunset from the middle of the lake
In the winter: finding some good live music at a local venue and enjoying it with good drink and even better friends.
Fun fact: Certified sailing instructor, going by the alias captain Caesar Choppy. I’m in the process of finishing off a small boat I have made from scratch, see you on the lake!
