What is your favorite memory of The McKinley Club? 

Friendsgiving is my favorite event of the year. Every year I have had a chance to meet new people that I don't typically run into, as well as catch up with others I may not have seen for a bit.  Plus...the food is delicious. My favorite is actually potluck style because I feel like it brings people together like family.

What is your go-to snack from the cupboard? 

Salt and Vinegar chips. I love the PopTarts, but at 400 calories a bag I have to be careful to not love them TOO much.

What is the best bit of business advice you’ve ever received? 

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” -James Clear. Building a multi unit retail operation you have to have solid systems in order to offload work and ensure consistency. Without that you are stuck with what you personally can do yourself and you can never take time off.
