When she was in 8th grade she stepped behind our cash register at Cadence Coffee on 7th and started taking orders. She learned the skills she needed to become an excellent barista and equally excellent manager at not one but two locations. When I asked her to take the manager role at Mayfly she took the role with the same wide eyed determination I saw on her face the first day she was born. Makenzie has never backed down from risk, challenge and adventure. Today marks the end of this leg of her journey (for now) working in the family business. She’s about to set sail for the “next thing” and I know this – she’s going to go into that next thing with her trademark determination and quest for excellence. I love you P.R. Your mom & I couldn’t be prouder of you. Go set the world on fire!
