Co-founder, CEO, Public Speaker, Author, Board Member, Golf & Tennis Enthusiast, Foodie, Hat-wearing former Architect. I studied Architecture, Italian Studies & Urban Planning at UC Berkeley and earned my Masters in Architecture from UCLA in 2008. One year later, I risked everything on an old postal van I purchased on Craigslist. After working at Walt Disney Imagineering, my partner Freya and I took a barely drivable postal van to Coachella Music Fest and sold our first architecturally-inspired ice cream sandwiches to an audience of 100,000 people. Since then, Coolhaus has become a business with a growth multiple of 2-3x per year---due to popular demand, we have expanded our fleet to 10 trucks (four in LA, two in NYC, and four in Dallas), two brick & mortars in LA (Culver City & Old Town Pasadena), and begun distributing our pre-packaged sammie, pint and bar line to 4,000+ grocery stores nationwide including Whole Foods, Safeway & Kroger and restaurants like Umami Burger and Bareburger. We also published a cookbook with over 100 recipes in May 2014 that was praised on Andy Cohen, Martha Stewart and GMA. Besides being CEO of Coolhaus, I am also a board member for Ludlows Cocktail Co. (and serious at-home mixologist) and Opportunity Fund (Southern California). I was named a Zagat 30 Under 30 in 2012 and a Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2013. I’ve also had the pleasure of being a guest judge on Food Network’s “Chopped” & “King of Cones,” a spokesperson for the California Milk Advisory Board in 2014, and an official panelist at SXSW & American Express.
