I am the founder of I Will Be Frank With You and co-owner of Greenwood Features, the independent movie theater on Greenwood Ave in Bethel. I was also one of the original founders and owners of Reverie Brewing Company in Newtown.
I spent more than twenty years designing digital products and experiences for companies like Toyota, Heineken, MetLife and Hanes before deciding I would rather be on the owner's side of the table.
I published a book on my experiences called The Business You Meant to Build. It is about the gap between the business an owner intended to build and the one they end up operating every day.
I'm passionate about supporting third place businesses and organizations where a community actually gathers. Those businesses hold towns together, and there are limited resources to help them think strategically given the changes we have seen in human behavior and patterns.
