Where to begin…Kasey and I have been friends since grade school. We grew up in the same town of Fayetteville, AR – home of the Razorbacks #WPS. We have always hung out with the same core group of best buds. We are so fortunate to have such a close knit groups of friends.
Kasey and I are a lot alike, and we compliment each other in so many ways. Kasey caught the entrepreneurship bug early on. His father has always owned and operated restaurants, and Kasey found himself working all the way from server to GM. He has learned a tremendous amount about the service and hospitality industries. My dad also owned his own business, but I was always focused on my academics. I received my undergraduate in Accounting and Finance, and then my Masters in Accountancy from the University of Arkansas. I then got my CPA and turned down an opportunity to work with Ernst and Young.
Kasey and I are best friends and an amazing team. We are extremely passionate about what we do!
