I live in Oakley and I love the location. I’m a short drive from all the restaurants, bars and entertainment that downtown and Over-the-Rhine offer, but can still take advantage of the walkability and locally owned small businesses in Oakley and Hyde Park.

What do you do in your new position as executive chef at Local 127?
I have the staff do a deep clean along with myself. We all scrub every nook and cranny together. It’s a great team-building exercise, and you get a feel for and know your new co-workers. In this business, as a leader you need to be willing to do everything it takes. It builds camaraderie and you see who is lazy!   

What do you like best about this job?
Eating amazing food every day and having the ability to be exposed to so many ingredients. Teaching what I have learned to others.
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati?
It’s a tight group of chefs and everyone knows one another—makes it fun. The amazing purveyors and farmers we get to work with. The Reds!

What do you do in your new position at Roadtrippers?
It’s a startup! A bit of everything. We experiment. We fail. We learn. We repeat this until we hit on something. It’s like panning for gold. We are looking for those one or two nuggets of learning about our customer that lets us do Big Things. It’s fun!
 
What do you like best about this job?
Roadtrippers is about planning your “Great American Roadtrip." To plan travel is to dream. We’re a company of dreamers and misfits who love road travel; who’ve decided we can change for the better how people discover America. How cool is that?
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati? 
Cincinnati is so unique. Its influence on the rest of America is completely underrated. Yes, it’s an awesome place to raise a family. Cost of living is not crazy here. But with OTR, it’s finally attracting young folks who are craving a hip, urban environment. It’s been a missing piece of our puzzle that’s finally falling into place. We also have a parade for our baseball team every spring! Who does that?
 
What part of town do you live in, and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live?  
Mason. Yeah, OK. Suburblandia. But it’s great. I’ve been really impressed by the way they’ve managed the growth from being a very popular suburb. Ever been to the community center? Or the high school? Yeah, it’s big, but the level of services they offer is amazing. I’ve lived in Atlanta suburbs, and have seen how suburbs can really struggle with growth. Mason is a case study in how to manage it well. And the commute? Again, ever been in Atlanta traffic? The Mason-Cincy commute is nothing in comparison.

What do you do in your new position at Roadtrippers?
I work on Roadtrippers.com, our web application for planning road trips and discovering awesome places to visit.
 
What do you like best about this job?
How quickly we can add a cool new feature, or fix an obnoxious bug, and then get that improvement in front of our actual users. Users who are not shy about e-mailing us their opinions of our product. Before moving to Cincinnati, I worked for one company where it could literally take years for the work we did to end up in front of our customers. Here at Roadtrippers, it only takes a few hours or days.
 
What's great about living/working in Cincinnati? 
There is always something interesting going on, especially in the summer, when it seems like there is at least one festival or outdoor concert happening every single day.
 
What part of town do you live in, and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
My wife and I moved downtown in June, and we love our location. We walk to Reds and Cyclones games, we walk to the Aronoff, we walk to Fountain Square, and we walk to bars and restaurants. Once it warms up, I will probably start walking to work. I feel a lot happier (and healthier) when I can walk to most of my daily activities. The only time I really need to drive anywhere is to buy groceries in Newport or Hyde Park.  As more people chose to move downtown, I'm optimistic that even that drive will one day not be necessary.
