I have been involved with marketing and sales throughout my career. I spent many years as managing director of a commercial real estate company. When Ilona approached me about creating 18 Chestnuts, I jumped at the chance to help. As an entrepreneur, spearheading a passionate project such as 18 Chestnuts is inspirational and incredibly rewarding.

So much disease in America is preventable through quality nutrition and exercise. 18 Chestnuts strives to deliver such nutrition in every jar to give people a great option and add our nutrient dense soups to their diets. Tasting recipes is an added bonus to the daily routine that our team enjoys. 

When I’m not working, I can be found in the kitchen with Ilona, walking the dogs or riding my motorcycle, and of course, hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains and working on a photography projects.
