We had the good fortune of connecting with Erin Sees and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erin, what’s your definition for success?
I define success as how happy and content I feel with what I’m doing and how I am staying true to my values as a business owner. If I give it my all, I know that I can accomplish anything that I put my mind to. Success is measured in the small steps that we make a choice to take every day.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I have worked in the food industry since the age of 14, starting as a fry cook at Arby’s while taking college classes part time. I worked my way up in different kitchens, Nino Salvaggio’s, cooking for the Grosse Pointe School system, working as the Galley Lead on the Infinity and Ovation Yacht Charters, and sous chef for a catering company. I took a few culinary classes to learn the basics and taught myself the rest. I was invited to a cooking University for the company, Taher, and learned a lot from those classes as well! I love learning new techniques and skills that can further my career, which I think is a huge part of continuous success.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
That’s easy – we’re heading to the Upper Peninsula. There’s nothing that nature can’t fix. A week long adventure of waterfall hunting, kayaking, hiking, beach days, and lots of S’mores!!
Bonfires galore and hunting for cool rocks are a must. We’ll catch every sunset. Drink coffee and eat pastries every morning. Hold hands as we jump into Lake Superior from the black rocks. Endless adventure and fun and of course some relaxation all week long!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to my best friend, Aalon. He has worked so relentlessly to help me get my business off the ground. He has been there every step of the way and I honestly would not have been able to make any of it a reality without him. I will never have enough words to explain how grateful I am for Aalon.
