Kelly Cuddy, Owner

I’ve worked in leadership positions for much of my life. I ran my own business in high school as a piano teacher, served as editor of my college newspaper, managed a pizza joint right out of college, and took over as team manager shortly after getting my first corporate job. I moved up the ranks in Corporate America, including the last few years in senior leadership. Along the way, I’ve served as chapter president for my professional writing organization, on the board for my townhomes, and as lead volunteer at a local nonprofit.

I owe some of the credit for my ability to hold these leadership positions to growing up on a grain farm in a very rural part of Idaho. (If you’re thinking that is in the Midwest… check a map and try again.) I bring a farm kid work ethic to everything I do, and have understand the importance of place and of being grounded.

I fill that need to be grounded literally by growing a veggie garden in all the sunny areas around my townhouse and by volunteering for nonprofits that focus on urban farming and food justice issues.

When I’m not puttering around in the dirt, I enjoy reading, cooking, and watching home improvement shows. I recently added meditation teacher to my list of accomplishments, and I offer techniques to my clients help them slow down and unwind.

I like parenthetic asides (even though they can be tedious to read); I love a semi-colon; I believe the Oxford comma is in no way optional.

I’m looking forward to meeting you.
