Q: What’s your favorite place to have a meeting in Dublin outside of the office?
A: I enjoy having morning coffee meetings in the lobby of the AC Marriott in Bridge Park. I also find La Chatelaine to be a quiet place for an early morning meeting, and the scrambled eggs are positively perfect there. Matt the Miller and Pint Room are great lunch meeting locations.

Q: What are you most proud of accomplishing as part of the Dublin Economic Development team?
A: One of my proudest accomplishments since I started working with the City of Dublin’s Planning Department 11 years ago has been bringing the Bridge Street District to life after spending several years working with the community to establish the vision and then lay the ground work for developers like Crawford Hoying and major stakeholders like the Columbus Metropolitan Library to implement catalytic pieces of the plan.
