I am a results-driven food industry executive, community leader, and advocate for responsible growth across North Georgia’s hospitality and nonprofit ecosystems.As Executive Vice President of Farmers & Fishermen, I help lead a market-leading food distribution company connecting chefs, restaurateurs, institutions, and businesses with responsibly sourced meat, seafood, and specialty products — predominantly from small family farmers, coastal fishermen, and niche producers. I am proud to support these partners while modernizing procurement, strengthening supplier relationships, and delivering consistent value at scale. My work sits at the intersection of operations, sales, brand development, and relationship-driven leadership, with a strong emphasis on long-term trust and execution as part of a multi-generational industry.Beyond my professional role, I am deeply committed to civic engagement, community service, and philanthropy. I serve on the Board of Second Helpings Atlanta, supporting food rescue and hunger relief initiatives that directly impact our community. I also serve as a Board Member at Temple Emanu-El, where I work as a community and cultural activist focused on engagement, inclusivity, and continuity.I was honored to be recognized as a 40 Under 40 honoree by the Atlanta Jewish Times, reflecting both professional achievement and community involvement — values that guide my leadership philosophy.I earned my degrees in Business Management and Marketing from Tulane University’s A.B. Freeman School of Business, where I built the foundation for my approach to growth, branding, and people-first leadership.At every level, my goal is simple: build strong businesses, elevate the people around me, and contribute meaningfully to the city and state I call home.
