A working operator.

I bought a house with one goal in mind: to use it as a stepping stone into business ownership.

A few years later, my wife and I sold that house, moved our young family into my father’s place and used the proceeds to open our first café.

Since then, Goodness Gracious has grown to four locations. Along the way there has been growth, mistakes, staff challenges, COVID, rising costs and all the realities that come with building a business over the long term.

The lessons on this site come from operating real businesses, leading teams and spending years on the floor serving customers.
