Owner, Lost Pizza
Why do you think you were chosen as one of Oxford’s Top 20 Under 40?
I believe I was chosen because of the hard work and dedication I’ve put into building a business that’s deeply rooted in Oxford, but I couldn’t have done it without my former and current staff. Their commitment and energy have helped me grow the business and make a lasting impact in the community.
Tell us about your work and what excites you most about it.
I get to run a business that brings people together over great food and a welcoming atmosphere, which makes every day meaningful. What excites me most is working alongside a dedicated staff whose hard work and passion make everything we do possible, and watching both them and the community thrive.
What’s an accomplishment you’re especially proud of?
I’m especially proud of helping build Lost Pizza into a place that feels like home for both our guests and our team. Creating an environment where people enjoy working and the community feels welcomed has been one of my biggest achievements.
How has Oxford influenced your journey, and how do you hope to give back?
Oxford has shaped me through the relationships I’ve built with mentors, coworkers, and customers who’ve guided and supported me along the way. I hope to give back by continuing to create opportunities for others, supporting local causes, and making sure our business remains a positive part of the community.
How do you like to spend your time outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy quality time with my family and taking part in the things that make Oxford such a special place. From local events to simple moments outdoors, I appreciate anything that lets me slow down and stay connected.
