(Wave Runner since 2009)

After 2 mojitos at Benjy’s I thought “there should be a shuttle”. Then decided I had to do it myself when a bunch of friends and I walked to a club on Washington & I broke a stiletto heel in the sidewalk. And that is how the Wave was born.

I was born & raised in Houston, Texas. I can tell you I knew nothing about this AMAZING city before starting The Wave. My immediate family is all here still & my extended family lives in Baltimore, MD. I am lucky to have the most amazing, brilliant, compassionate, talented and hilarious niece & 2 nephews. My rescue dogs are like my children, for now, & I love them a lot. I also have a whole bunch of staff & buses I consider additional children 😀  I love to be near the water & outside on a gorgeous day. I can’t wait to have down time to chill in the hammock here.

I have a Bachelor of Business Administration from University of Colorado, a Master of Science in Social Work from University of Texas, and a Master of Business Administration from Rice University.

None of them taught me anywhere near what owning The Wave has taught me.
