After Graduating from Ithaca College, Sally worked in the mental health field and had plans to attend grad school before realizing it was time to stop denying the inevitable. Sally joined the family business and began her journey as a literary agent. She has helped broker dozens of book deals and truly loves helping guide authors towards their dreams of publication. As part of the first official culinary delegation, Sally has made two trips to Vietnam where she cultivated a deep love of pho, and all [edible] things Vietnamese. Sally spends what little free time she has cooking and conceptualizing new dishes that you just can’t believe don’t contain gluten or dairy.

A native of Pennsylvania, he relocated to Massachusetts in 1993 to apprentice with legendary baker and iconoclast Richard Bourdon of Berkshire Mountain Bakery. Sean was the founder and original owner of Bread Euphoria, a small wood-fired bakery where he made tens of thousands of loaves of organic bread by hand. In addition to his culinary pursuits, Sean is a multi-instrumentalist and performer who likes to sing harmony more than anything else in the world.
