Hi All - I'm excited to have a place to talk about things that don't fit into one of the boxes. I don't have a lot of opportunity IRL to meet up with other business owners so this is great 🙂
Thanks @maxpete!

In addition to running a ceramic studio - I love dogs, making jewelry, baking and as @maxpete knows - boots 🙂 and who could forget tattoos @tranguyen 😅
My wife and I run our 4th generation Garden center, Van Kalker Farms and Greenhouses in the far south suburban Chicago and we also have 2 bakeries in Northwest Indiana, Rise'n Roll Schererville, and Rise'n Roll Cedar Lake.
We are a wholesale and retail greenhouse with a little over 5 acres of indoor growing space.
Our bakeries are actually bakeries in a franchise where all the baked goods are made by the Amish at the large bakery in Shipshewana Indiana (a very large Amish community) and brought to our stores every morning. So we have fresh Amish-made goods 3 hours away from the closest Amish community.
As for hobbies, I'm a good old-fashioned nerd. Comic Books, movies, TV, video games, Star Trek, Star Wars, books, Podcasts, Apple/Mac products.
Our Cedar Lake store opened in late 2020. Each store features an authentically made Amish buggy "booth" that you can eat in.
