Why do you like working in transportation?
I grew up in a self-employed family, which shaped my work ethic and perspective from an early age. Since 1998, my wife Connie and I have continued that tradition by owning and operating multiple businesses together. Those experiences have given me an understanding of what true customer service looks like. Connie and I are proud parents of two sons. Our oldest, Cole, is 24 and will be getting married in July 2026. Our youngest, Connor, is 20 and a sophomore at Baker University, where he plays baseball as a catcher. Watching our kids grow and pursue their passions has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, making cocktails, finding speakeasies when traveling and simply relaxing by the pool or taking our RV out on a trip to unwind.

In 2007, we moved to Topeka from Liberty Missouri to start a new chapter by opening Plato's Closet. After selling our garbage company and our investment/rental properties, we were ready for a new challenge and opportunity. Topeka has been a wonderful place to raise our family and build lasting relationships. It offers a strong sense of community while still being close enough to larger cities when we're looking for that bigger city experience.

Two best friends spent years hunting for great Italian food in every city they visited — then decided to create that destination right here in Topeka. At Chef’s Kiss, traditional Italian meets Southern cooking and beyond, with a curated dessert menu for those with a sweet tooth.

Modern Italian with a southern flare, served in a welcoming, classical atmosphere where you can see right into the kitchen through the window! Every thing is made daily, and always with the freshest ingredients!
