About the Owner

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY but spent every summer in Ogunquit with my family growing up. My appreciation for this town really began when I started working at local businesses in town. Some of the spots included Amore Breakfast, That Place, La Pizzeria, & The Front Porch. My love for Maine continued when I attended The University of Southern Maine in Portland and then went on to work for The Boston Celtics minor league team, The Red Claws. Although I moved to NYC for a short time as the Director of Sales for a healthcare startup, PatientPop, Maine was still on my mind and I knew I ultimately needed to come back here. I returned home to Maine when I bought The Front Porch Piano Bar and Restaurant in March of '17. I learned a lot in my first couple of years after taking over The Porch, but the most important thing was that I wanted to continue to invest in this community and partner with the amazing people/businesses here. With that in mind, I opened Crew, a new restaurant & live music venue, in June of 2021. During your stay, please come by and say hi at either restaurant. I always love meeting guests! 

 

Philanthropy has always been at the center of my mission and luckily the Ogunquit community feels the same. I currently serve on the Board of The Children's Inn at The National Institutes  of Health, and as Chair of the board for the Ogunquit Chamber of Commerce. This year alone, through this insanely generous community,  we have been able to donate over $400,000 to various charities. The support of this town is truly unmatched. Have a charity you think I should know about or get involved in? I would love to hear from you! 

 

It felt only right that I invest in a couple of homes next as I want the opportunity to be able to provide an experience for Ogunquit visitors outside of the restaurant walls. I love living in Ogunquit and hope to be able to share some of the amazing parts of this town through a great place to stay. Myself and Molly, the rental manager, are always available for any local recommendations or information. We hope you decide to stay and begin new traditions at Ogunquit Luxury Rentals. "
