I've been called a "pig" while eating before, but after meeting Hansel, I'm choosing to take that as a compliment. It was fun having Hansel visit Kanbe's Markets this week—it's encouraging to see how we're able to redirect food from landfills while helping local nonprofits.
Hey The Food Trust, we love what you’re doing for Philly, but we don't love your football team… How about a friendly wager: the losing charity donates $1 for every point scored on Sunday to the winning org, and asks their followers to do the same? #ChiefsKingdom #SBLVII
It’s on! The Kanbe's Markets team is going to be seeing red on Monday morning—and we’re not talking about your football team or the berries and tomatoes in your warehouse. #FlyEaglesFly #SBLVII

I'm honored to receive the inaugural Emerging Hawklet Award. Rockhurst HS gave me an enduring appreciation for community, which in turn shaped Kanbe's Markets' mission. I'm grateful for the recognition, and for the strong foundation Rockhurst provided me. rockhursths.edu/alumni/emergin…
