Editor’s note

(Don’t!) follow the leader

© LILA PHOTO

W

hile putting together our Leadership Issue, I kept thinking about that ridiculously simple and fun childhood game, Follow the Leader, where everyone mimics whatever the leader does. I had never thought too much about the name until now, and here’s the thing: It kind of bugs me. I mean, sure, you can be inspired by leaders, and “following” them in the sense of taking a note from their passion and courage is all good.

But when taken more literally, eh... Kids should be taught to be leaders, not follow them. The whole point of being a leader is to blaze your own trail. You do you, as the kids used to say.

In this issue, we profile some inspiring people who are all leaders in their own right. In “Women at the Helm” (page 50), you’ll get to know a few local ladies who are dominating their industries.

And in “The Next Generation of Entrepreneurs” (page 32), you’ll meet four millennials who have decided to take a leap of faith and try to make a living doing exactly what they want to do—like our cover model, Jupiter native Adysun Hawkins, who runs a really rad vintage clothing company called LucidSunDay out of a refurbished 1973 Shasta trailer. And then there’s our Character profile: This month, we spotlight Jupiter resident Mark Chaney, an engineer who figured out how to make what is essentially a freakin’ robot that acts as a personal sommelier (page 22).

Another feature I hope you’ll spend some time with is “The Vanishing Manatee” (page 40). It’s an informative piece about an extremely important local issue. And while there are many leaders out there doing incredible work to try and solve the problem, these creatures (and our waters) can only benefit from more conservation awareness and love.

Peace and blessings,

Michelle Lee Ribeiro michelle@jupitermag.com

Publisher’s note

To infinity and beyond...

CHASIN A DREAM PHOTOGRAPHY

T

he morning of writing this letter, I excitedly watched the first manned mission into space aboard the New Shepard suborbital rocket developed by Jeff Bezos’ company, Blue Origin LLC. It was the culmination of two decades of vision, technical advances, perseverance, and billions of dollars to pursue a lifelong dream of “building a road to space,” transforming space travel, and expanding Bezos’ entrepreneurial skills into the aerospace industry. This marks a new era. Long dominated by government agencies, it is now powered by the private sector— wealthy business leaders like Bezos, Richard Branson, and Elon Musk. These thought leaders are pushing the limits of space travel, making it accessible for the common man and for future generations to come.

Bezos and his colleagues are extreme examples of what entrepreneurs can achieve and the enormous impact they have on society. Entrepreneurs often become such because of their fierce passion and their ability to find a problem, inefficiency, or gap and solve it/close it. They imagine the world differently and pursue their vision in service to others, breaking barriers and effecting change. We see this creative spirit abound in Palm Beach County, and in this issue, we feature several young entrepreneurs whose visions, ideas, hard work, and execution have paid off and led to success.

Having lived in this area for more than 25 years, I’ve seen my share of amazing leaders—people who go above and beyond the call of duty and impact others and their communities in powerful ways. In this issue, we applaud the efforts of local women who are paving the way for positive change, growth, and leadership. It’s often been said that great leaders don’t set out to be leaders; they set out to make a difference. I happen to have a Post-it Note attached to my computer monitor that says, “I do it for the outcome, not the income,” and I think that sums up this attitude perfectly.

We also bring you a special section, Leaders of Palm Beach County 2021, which highlights local industry leaders and explores how they can be of assistance to our readers. We hope you enjoy this issue and that it inspires you to push the limits, explore further, and think outside the box. Be sure to visit us on Facebook and Instagram, visit jupitermag.com, and subscribe to our weekly e-newsletter, Insider’s Guide, to keep up with all the latest happenings.

onoring female artists in South Florida, the Lighthouse ArtCenter welcomes its latest exhibition, Women in the Visual Arts, running through October 20 at its Spencer Gallery in Tequesta. “It is a celebration of the talented artists of Women of the Visual Arts who work in everything from precious metals to mixed media,” says curator Janeen Mason. The 250-plus-member group grants art scholarships to college graduate students and also supports high school artists with annual awards, among other initiatives.

The exhibition will feature nearly 30 artists’ work in sculpture, painting, photography, collage, and mixed media and allow guests the opportunity to connect with the artists. Concurrently, a second exhibition, Art by Aboriginal Women, will be displayed in the Schoor Gallery, featuring works including two-dimensional paintings and three-dimensional wood carvings. Says Mason: “Art by Aboriginal Women tells a fascinating story of aboriginal life expressed through a woman’s perspective.” lighthousearts.org —Melissa Puppo SEPTEMBER 2021 | JUPITER

DANCING QUEEN

Local dancer Ella Justi is plucked to join the prestigious Princess Grace Academy in Monaco

It’s not often dancers receive a scholarship to the renowned Princess Grace Academy in Monaco, but 13-year-old Ella Justi defied odds with her recent acceptance.“It is so rewarding anytime one of our student’s dreams becomes a reality,” says Michele Zehner, director of Florida School for Dance Education. For Justi, the excitement is clear. “I burst when I found out,” says the teen. Her training at the academy will include a five-year course study inclusive of classes in ballet, contemporary, and more. Further studies will include music, art history, and French. Upon completion, Justi will be able to audition for professional dance companies and says she hopes to land at a major ballet company. floridaschoolfordanceeducation.com

Of course, you should always wear what suits your frame and makes you feel your best. But even my petite, 5’3” frame is excited to bring back my old wide-leg and boot-cut jeans.

On the Scene

Culinary CRAVING Flavor Palm Beach founder Briana Beaty shares what’s new and exciting for this month’s big foodie event

What can locals expect from this year’s event?

This year, diners will have the classic Flavor experience of three courses for a set price at participating restaurants, as well as some fabulous take-out and delivery options.

FREDERICK R ALWAY

B

riana Beaty started Flavor Palm Beach—a month-long celebration of good food and good living in the Palm Beaches—in 2007 after moving from Miami to Palm Beach Gardens. She had been missing the popular restaurant events she grew to love, such as Miami Spice, and decided to take things into her own hands. “I turned my lunch hour, weekends, and after-hours into Flavor headquarters,” says Beaty, a mother of three who is also the founder of “The Palm Beach Moms” blog. “I worked my tail off—lots of blood, sweat, and tears—but it came together.” Now, almost 15 years later and with restaurants still trying to rebuild from the pandemic, Beaty is excited for locals to get out there and explore and support the foodie scene. More than 40 restaurants are participating in Flavor Palm Beach 2021, which runs through the month of September. Prix fixe, three-course lunches start at $23; dinners $39-$45. Here, Beauty shares a few highlights. flavorpb.com

Any new restaurants participating this year?

So many! La Goulue, Planta, Amar, Barello, True Food Kitchen, Beacon, Lucky Shuck, Almond, and Scussi Trattoria are some of our newbies, and we are so excited about them. Barello has this dessert, the cookie dough egg roll—it's amazing. Beacon and Lucky Shuck are new this year, and in addition to great food, they offer incredible views.

Tell us about the partnership with this year’s benefactor, Palm Beach County Food Bank.

The Palm Beach Food Bank does so much for our community. As a mom, I am really interested in the backpacks program, where food-insecure children are sent home with a backpack full of nutritious food for the weekend that they can share with their families.

Wellness

Balancing Act Discover the practice—and power—of Tula inside this new Jupiter yoga studio which means “balance” in Sanskrit. “Balance is one of the intentions that we’d like to bring forth in all of our teachings,” says La Paglia.

“Balance in body, in mind, and in spirit. Our humble space at Tulaā is a place where people can come and learn something new every time they walk in the door.” Their mission, she says, is to undo the preconceived notion of what yoga should look like and instead introduce how it should feel. They teach an array of beginner to advanced classes, such as Tula Fundamentals, Tula Flow, and Tula Fierce.

This month, they plan to host ongoing educational workshops.

In the fall, they say they will delve into offering yoga retreats in places like Costa Rica and Tuscany (paired with wine tasting). tulayogaschool.com ❖ STEVEN MARTINE

F

riends Jessica Coyne and Jessica La Paglia never imagined opening a brick-and-mortar yoga studio—until the pandemic hit. The two first met several years ago at Coyne’s weekly yoga classes around town and immediately hit it off. A practicing student, La Paglia decided to sign up for Coyne’s teacher training program and eventually developed her own style. “We felt like we’d known each other our whole lives,” says Coyne, reflecting on their instant friendship. They planned a yoga retreat together in Costa Rica and discovered their shared passion for travel and “desire to provide unique training experiences all over the world,” according to Coyne.

Teaching alongside each other came naturally, and they made a plan to become a traveling yoga studio; they even had gigs set up in three different states. But when the pandemic hit, things changed.

They started offering online and outdoor classes locally instead.

This past March, they opened their studio, Tula Yoga School, in Abacoa. As the name suggests, it focuses on the style of Tulaā,

chemotherapy treatments,” he says. “I worked on 10 hightech ideas during that period, but the one tied to my wine cellar was the most exciting, and I wanted to produce it.”

A longtime wine collector, Chaney felt he wasn’t knowledgeable enough about wine to make a sophisticated presentation to his guests. No wine-management system on the market, he found, had more than one percent of globally accessible wines in their operation. “I knew I could develop the software to close this gap and create something novel,” he says.

Utilizing the robotics he had perfected at his company, WineCab was born.

The wine-management system offers a “virtual” sommelier powered by artificial intelligence, temperature control, security settings, and an industrial highspeed robotic arm that loads, scans, and delivers desired bottles in just a few seconds. Facial-recognition security has the ability to lock out important bottles for discriminating users. Chaney compares the system to live-performance art, operating a bit like a ballerina.

Every wine bottle is scanned with all of its original information so when a user needs to know the story behind a particular blend, it is easily accessible. “I didn’t love wine before, but I do now,” says Chaney. He envisions the wine wall— which comes in sizes ranging from 6 feet to 15 feet and sells from $180,000 to $250,000—as ideal for multimilliondollar homes and high-end restaurants.

ark Chaney has always been a mechanical tinkerer. At age 4, he took apart his grandfather’s clock—though he never put it back together. His dad owned a carpentry shop, and his uncle had a speed shop where he built and repaired race cars.

Chaney’s childhood was spent exploring these magical shops.

“I always wanted to change things,” says Chaney, who was born in Daytona Beach and raised in Michigan and Rochester, New York. “I would tinker with Dad’s bikes and small inventions, but I always thought outside of the box to find something wondrous to bring to life.”

After studying engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, Chaney— who now divides his time between Jupiter and Rochester—worked for a machine-building company. Eager to start his own business, he launched Calvary Robotics in 1995, which became a world leader in robotic platform design and automated manufacturing in the automotive, health care, consumer goods, electronics, and renewable energy sectors. The creative entrepreneur also started an Innovation Lab, which has developed new products like Opti-Cool (energy-efficient data center cooling equipment) and X-Cell (modular and redeployable assembly equipment).

Four years ago, when the divorced father of two was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, he took the opportunity to use the “downtime” wisely. “I was told to stay home and not do anything work-related in order to recover from multiple myeloma cancer because I had undergone stem cell and

“Robots are faster, better, and very highend luxury tech products,” he says.

WineCab has a wait list of customers eager to install the innovation in their homes. One local who has already taken the plunge is Master Sommelier Virginia Philip. The owner of Virginia Philip Wine Spirits & Academy was a development consultant on the project and has a WineCab in her Palm Beach retail store.

Chaney is now developing new ideas for other wine products, as well as for a robotic car wash. His hobbies of racing cars and boats and playing golf and tennis fit perfectly into his lust for challenge.

He is also writing a book on leadership, encouraging others to better themselves.

“I am always working on bettering my own life and becoming an improved leader and innovator,” he says. “I want others to do the same. I get the most satisfaction when I achieve my dreams and see others do the same.” winecab.com ❖

t’s impossible to begin the story of mixed media artist Jane Lawton Baldridge without first telling a decades-old sailor’s tale.

“I was sailing around the Gulf of Mexico at age 13, and that trip resulted in sailing through a hurricane,” recalls Baldridge of a 1972 sailboat race in Veracruz, Mexico that still influences her work in watercolor, acrylic, and digital media art. “Luckily, when you’re 13, you don’t understand that you could die. We sailed out [to return home to the Texas coast] and, before the night was over, we were in the thick of it. When we got out of the hurricane, we had no radio, no engine, and we had been beaten up pretty badly. Obviously, I have stories that I need to get out. My

paintings are all sea stories—they’re all about storms.”

She took that experience, along with hundreds of formative memories from her childhood at sea (her mother put a bassinet underneath the seat of her sailboat when Baldridge was a baby), and combined it with her interest in art to foster a 45-year career as both a painter and a competitive sailor. She had quite the career kickoff, winning the National Scholastic gold medal for drawing in 1974 and the gold medal for sailing in the Adams

Clockwise from top left: Southbound (2017); Child Upper Keys (2020), which reflects areas in the Keys at risk of coastal inundation; Lake Okeechobee (2021).

Level Stories, stems from a personal interest in local and national water conservation. The collection, which is part of her display at the Elliott Museum, includes a growing number of recycled mannequins she papiermâchéd with donated nautical charts and painted to create a figurative glimpse at what rising sea levels might look like in the very near future for people living in coastal towns.

“Storm flooding has been a large part of my life, and now I’m in the heart of the matter,” she says of her interest in rising sea levels, beach erosion, and water pollution. “Part of it is looking out over Galveston Bay [in Texas] and wishing it looked like the beaches here in Florida. There was a period of time when I lived there that everything was dead. Those things stick with me.”

Baldridge hopes her work will help inform locals interested in learning more about the waterways surrounding our area and inspire other artists to use personal experiences as their artistic muse. “If people can take away my message, that’s great,” she says. “But if they can take away their own message that touches them, that’s great too.” artspeaks.com ❖ TOM GRISSMAN

Now, after roughly a decade spent living exclusively on boats in Fort Lauderdale and North Carolina with her husband, Baldridge has a home and studio space in Stuart and can focus more on her artwork, which is currently on display at the Elliott Museum. Sea Stories is part of the museum’s Portfolios exhibition (running through October 31), which showcases local artists; Baldridge’s display includes several large-scale acrylic canvas compositions modeled after the waves, streams, and rivers she knows so well.

“I’ve raced offshore a lot, I’ve raced inshore a lot, I’ve been to beautiful places snorkeling, I’ve been in crystal-clear water with 10 knots of breeze on the perfect day, and I’ve also been in over-80 mph winds,” she says. “These things come out in my art; it can vary depending on what I’m experiencing in the outside world or personally.”

n Highway 30A in Florida’s Panhandle, with its pastel palettes and beachy kitsch, a pair of stark white minaretlike structures announce that you’ve arrived in Alys Beach, a place utterly exotic and comfortable at the same time.

Sure, you’re still in Florida, but the clusters of white-washed masonry buildings that gleam under the relentless sun make you think of—where is it exactly? Bermuda? Santorini? Muscat?

Guatemala? Boasting a unique mix of worldly architectures in a way that just works, Alys Beach is a serene and sophisticated spot that feels worlds away from its location on Florida’s Emerald Coast, just a few hours west of Tallahassee.

Twice the size of neighboring Seaside, Alys Beach is an

accommodations (many boasting private pools, firepits, and roof decks), there’s plenty to see and do in the town beyond.

Start your day with old-fashioned doughnuts and smoothies from Charlie’s Donut Truck; the converted Sunbeam bread truck parks next to the amphitheater every morning, chock-full of dough-based confections that bakers cut and glaze by hand. (The maplebacon doughnut, which is topped with a mountain of bacon crumbles, sells out daily, so get there early to snag one.)

The town’s palm tree–lined alleys, cobblestone streets, and public squares make exploring via bicycle a must-do, if only for the Instagram opportunities the outing affords. Kids and adults alike will relish the slow pace of cruising around town to peep and play at the many water features and public art installations.

Plus, there’s no better way to tour the

town’s 20-acre nature preserve, which includes an elevated wooden boardwalk offering the best view of your natural surroundings—from a pine and cypress forest to a coastal dune lake to a meadow of wiregrass and wildflowers.

While you’re at it, bike over to George’s (georgesatalysbeach.com) for a leisurely lunch. The menu invites guests to choose items from its spa-inspired Behave section (try the grilled salmon with red quinoa) or its more indulgent Misbehave section (the fried shrimp with hush puppies is a must-have).

But at its heart, Alys is a beach town, so be sure to sample its sugary white Gulf of Mexico sand and water as clear as the Caribbean Sea. Skip hauling and setting up your beach gear; you can rent it with one call to The Bike Shop. Feeling peckish? Food and beverages can be delivered straight to your beach setup. Stay for the sunset (always sure to stun) and end the evening with a bespoke

beach bonfire, complete with s’mores. It may be too dark to snap a good selfie for the ’Gram, but the memories will last a lifetime. alysbeach.com ❖

Are you relocating to a new state?

Changing your residence to a different state has many financial implications. To avoid tax and other consequences, be sure you understand the steps you need to take before moving. Among their diverse services, The Rizzo, Apple, Schneider, and Langbert Group at J.P. Morgan Wealth Management—Wealth Partners Anthony Rizzo, Roy Apple, Jeremy Schneider, and Brett Langbert—can work with you to help minimize the risks and disruptions of an upcoming move.

CHANGING YOUR STATE OF RESIDENCE?

You have to leave, really leave. Many states that rely on levying state income taxes to generate revenue are active in challenging claims by former residents that they have moved out of state and changed their tax domiciles. “In order for your move to be respected, you really have to move—half measures may leave you open to claims by your former home state that it should still be able to tax you,” says Anthony Rizzo.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LEAVE?

Changing residence is a legal matter, so follow the guidance of your independent legal and tax advisors before doing anything. There are many actions you can take to fulfill the requirements of a move, so you’ll want to make a checklist to keep organized and stay on track.

WHERE TO START?

“A good place to start is by changing your driver’s license to your new state and canceling your old license,” says Jeremy Schneider.

“Register your car in your new state and notify your insurance company of the change.

Similarly, change your voter registration.”

Are you affiliated with a religious institution?

Move your religious affiliation to a local house of worship. Do you plan to buy a home, or will you be renting? If possible, sell your home in your old state. If you need to keep your home, transfer title to family members or other entities; if you’re planning to rent in your new state, ask for a long-term lease.

KEEP YOUR MOST VALUABLE DOCUMENTS UP-TO-DATE.

“Remember to revise your estate planning documents (wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance care directives, etc.) to reflect your new state’s forms,” advises Roy Apple. This is an essential part of keeping your tax domicile current.

FOCUS YOUR ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES IN YOUR NEW STATE.

Move your bank accounts and safe deposit box to your new state and close bank accounts in your former state. Engage local medical professionals and send your medical records to them. Change your address with the IRS—list your new address on your tax returns. Notify your credit card companies and financial

institutions of your new address. In general, focus your everyday activities in your new state.

PAY ATTENTION TO TIMING.

Maintain a calendar to remind yourself to stay outside your former state for more than 182 days in each calendar year. Keep receipts that prove local activity in your new state. Remember, you generally don’t have to be in your new state for more than 182 days, just outside your former state. Brett Langbert advises, “The less time you spend in your former state, the less likely your old state will initiate a ‘residency audit,’ requiring you to prove where you spend the most time.”

LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE.

Work with the right advisor to help protect your assets. The Rizzo, Apple, Schneider, and Langbert Group at J.P. Morgan has over 100 years of collective experience helping clients of significant wealth integrate their personal goals with their financial objectives. The team, whose members hold top rankings in Forbes and Barrons, also works seamlessly with their clients’ other advisors to help ensure the complexities of significant wealth are intelligently managed over time.

J

upiter native Adysun Hawkins’ mobile vintage fashion business, LucidSunDay, could be characterized in the same words that define her: sunny, happy, and free-wheeling.

The self-described “flower child” loves all things groovy and stocks her 1973 Shasta trailer with clothing and items designed to introduce customers (or transport them, depending on their age) to the era of Woodstock, bell-bottoms, and tie-dye.

The yellow and white exterior, ’70s music, and funky-yet-homey interior invite customers to come inside the mobile shop, linger, and chat. “I want the energy to be upbeat and for customers to come inside and feel like they’re lying in the sunshine and free,” Hawkins says. Racks of her latest vintage finds line the interior, interspersed with accessories like natural-dyed, handmade cloth bags, bright headscarves, hats, and boots. A spacious dressing room encourages patrons to try on clothing and post photos of themselves online.

Behind her laid-back persona, Hawkins is a passionate advocate for sustainability—and a smart businesswoman able to adapt to changing conditions. She graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2019 with a degree in graphic design. But an internship with a large corporation, where she crafted flyers for a company picnic, convinced her she had to be her own boss.

“That was a turning point for me,” she says. “I told myself I’m going to do anything it takes not to do that.”

While in college, she began selling small items she made herself at local art fairs, all the while dreaming of launching a mobile

32

fashion business. Just before COVID hit, Hawkins found the perfect vintage trailer she had been looking for—the Shasta. “The day it was posted on Craigslist, I sent in a deposit,” she recalls. She and her father spent several months painting and designing it, which she says was a nice “bonding project.”

Sales were going well—until the pandemic. At that point, Hawkins turned her attention to beefing up her online presence and loaning out her trailer for photo shoots. “I definitely had some rough spots,” she says.

Hawkins travels across the country seeking 1960s- and 1970sstyle clothing and accessories. “Recently, I made a deal to buy 800 pounds of unwanted clothing,” she says. “It was delivered to my house in a semi.” It took a summer to sell it all, to other resellers and to customers through her own business, but she managed to accomplish the task. “I saved 800 pounds of clothing from going to the dump,” she says. Hawkins abhors “fast fashion”—cheaply made garments catering to rapidly changing trends that eventually end up in a landfill. “There is enough clothing in this world for every single person to have a different outfit every day of their lives,” she says. Aside from sustainability, she cites the sartorial benefits of vintage: “You can curate your own style so uniquely, and you won’t walk into a party looking like everyone else.”

Not surprisingly, Hawkins is upbeat about the future. “I think I have a lot of exploring to do,” she says. “I really love creating. I’m not exactly sure where this will take me, but I’m looking forward to it.” lucidsunday.com

JOE RUSSO, 31

The biz: Tech Hub South Florida

A

t the heart of any entrepreneurial success story is the ability to recognize and fill a gap. For Joe Russo, it was the need for a professional member association that brings together the people and resources to put South Florida on the map as a premier location for the technology industry.

The Palm Beach Gardens native was only 25 in 2015 when he founded the nonprofit originally called Palm Beach Tech, which he changed to Tech Hub South Florida in 2020 to encompass a larger region. After attending Florida Gulf Coast University, Russo was at an economic policy think tank in Tallahassee and built an independent consulting business, working with clients including the Palm Beach County School District. Tech Hub was born simply because “the tech industry wanted it,” he says.

While Russo says Tech Hub is still building and growing, the nonprofit now has offices and a conference room in downtown West Palm Beach and more than 200 members who provide the major financing. A diverse board of directors develops programs and initiatives to educate, inform, and develop strategies around promoting tech-sector growth in South Florida, interacting with government agencies, education institutions, and businesses. “Our membership base drives all our decisions,” Russo says.

“The majority of our budget comes from them, so we want to be sure we meet their needs. If we don’t have the tech companies driving us forward, we won’t grow.” Members range from start-up firms to Fortune 500 companies, but they all have the same pressing concern, says Russo: finding and attracting the right talent. He estimates that Tech Hub interacts with more than 20 higher-education institutions throughout South Florida, and he also sits on some advisory boards.

In one respect, the pandemic has had a positive effect on South Florida, Russo explains: “COVID decentralized the tech industry, and we continue to see the trend of the normalization of working from home.” For that reason, he adds, metro areas with a “massive” cost of living will have more difficulty attracting top tech talent. South Florida, with its comparatively lower cost of living coupled with a desirable lifestyle, will benefit.

Nothing in the tech industry stands still, presenting both challenges and exciting opportunities. “So much changes quickly in technology,” Russo says. “We want to be the voice of the tech industry in the region. We’re not the only fish in the pond, but we want to stay hyper-focused on tech and be successful in bringing together people and issues.”

Like many business creators, Russo also doesn’t stand still and is currently developing a new idea for a project that has been on his mind for a couple of years. He retains an advisory role at Tech Hub but wants to put some of his energy toward a new venture that fulfills his mission to do good in the world. Details are yet to come, but, says Russo: “It will all be based on how I’m able to serve people, using my gifts, experiences, and insight.

My philosophy on life is to try to do the things that help people.” techhubsouthflorida.org

LAUREN BENDER, 27 The biz: Social Hour

B

efore founding Social Hour, a boutique marketing, consulting, and full-service social media agency, Palm Beach Gardens native Lauren Bender was commuting daily to Boca Raton to work as a financial analyst at Berkadia. “I was chained to my desk from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.,” she says. Although she enjoyed the job, she found herself giving up opportunities as a part-time model and stylist and wanted to create her own flexible work schedule.

In 2018, she took the leap, creating an agency that develops online marketing strategies, creative content, and campaigns focused on the wellness, beauty, and fashion industries. Three years later, she has six clients on monthly retainers and works on a project basis for several others. “Taking the first step was my biggest fear,” she says.

“Obviously, you learn as you go. But now I can’t imagine doing anything else. I have both freedom and flexibility.”

Bender graduated in 2016 from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama with a double major in entrepreneurship and marketing. Her original plan had been to follow in the footsteps of her mother, a nurse, but she quickly realized that wasn’t for her and ended up following the entrepreneurial path of her father, who is the director and founder of Place of Hope in Palm Beach Gardens.

In the beginning, she lived at home while launching the fledgling start-up. “When I started out, I had to work hard on the back end, taking on clients for free or on a low budget just to get my name out there,” she says. A breakthrough came when she landed some projects for Randy Fenoli, bridal designer and host of TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress.

After that, “it was literally a domino effect,” she says. “I haven’t had to market myself at all; clients have come from word of mouth.”

In 2019, Bender married Brian Grove, a project manager in land development at Kolter Homes. They made their home in Bender’s hometown and, with new office space on Northlake, she is now looking toward future growth, with plans to enlarge by assembling a team that would eliminate the need to hire freelancers. Coming out of the pandemic, Bender says businesses have a greater awareness of the importance of strong digital marketing. “When COVID hit, an online platform was the only way to get messages out to people, and if businesses aren’t constantly updating, people will begin searching elsewhere,” she says. “A digital brand has become a crucial tool.” socialhourhq.com

ZACH BUCOLO, 27 The biz: Ital Bowls

Y

ou might say that Zach Bucolo’s journey from surfer to successful owner of a food truck came with plenty of bumps in the road.

A graduate of Jensen Beach High School, the Martin County native postponed his scholarship to the University of North Florida in favor of a gap year in Hawaii, which turned into four years. Working at Starbucks and hitting the big waves on the North Shore of Oahu, Bucolo had designs on becoming a pro surfer but quickly learned there were plenty of others vying for spots in his league. For a while, he created jewelry from Hawaii’s vibrant sunrise shells and sold it on the beach. “I learned a lot about how to start a business,” he says. After two years, he found himself at a crossroads: “Life was all about surfing, but I realized I could have that life in Florida, and I missed my family.”

He moved back home in 2017 and began thinking about starting a food truck that offered the healthy “fast food” he had discovered in Oahu: acai bowls. The acai berry, from South American palm trees, is packed with antioxidants and flavor. Blended with other natural ingredients, it’s a treat that delivers a huge dose of long-lasting energy and health benefits.

“I had visions of having a food truck back in Stuart, right where it is now,” he says. That location is the Hutchinson Island Pantry plaza, across from a surf shop and Stuart Beach.

But the ability to transform a big idea into an actual business takes more than a dream.

Bucolo located an old army step van in Port St. Lucie that was immaculate but needed to be fully equipped with everything from countertops to electricity to refrigeration. It was a lot of hard work—“it tested me in all aspects of my life, and at times I wanted to give up,” he recalls.

But four months later, he launched Ital Bowls with no fanfare. The name is derived from the word “vital,” and in the Caribbean describes raw, vegetarian, or vegan meals.

Bucolo now has seven employees, a permanent spot in the plaza with tiki huts sheltering outside seating for 20, and has even been able to give back to the community during the pandemic. “COVID helped me grow the business tremendously,” he says. “My team and I decided to stay open because we felt it was our duty to provide healthy eating options.” They closed only for the month of May in 2020 (they remained open for takeout), and Bucolo started a GoFundMe page to raise money to feed medical frontline workers.

He raised more than $2,500 and made bowls for 250 nurses and doctors. “I found out they were getting take-out pizza and chicken wings,” he says. “And more than anyone, these were the people who needed good nutrition.”

Bucolo says his next dream is a brick-and-mortar location. He has his eye on Jupiter as a potential spot. “The food truck is a huge part of my life, but I feel I’ll eventually outgrow it,” he says. “I want to grow from it.” italbowls.com ❖

generation, ask a Florida kid to name their favorite animal and a manatee might not even come to mind at all.

But there is, scientists say, time to change that.

James “Buddy” Powell was about 14 when he spotted a pretty strange sight on the Crystal River. At the time, Powell had a boat his grandmother had bought him, and he spent any moment he could on the water. One day, he noticed a guy in a Sears & Roebuck rowboat with a dinky three-horsepower engine. The guy didn’t have fishing poles or a cooler of beer, just a pair of binoculars and a bizarre name for his boat: Trichechus.

“Finally, I just got up the courage to go over and ask what he was doing,” Powell recalls.

The man was Daniel Hartman, and he was conducting the first-ever study of Florida’s population of the genus Trichechus manatus, or West Indian manatee. At the time, there were maybe 1,000 of these sea creatures left and no real effort in place to prevent them from disappearing.

o you remember the first time you saw a manatee? You might have thought it looked like a character from a Disney movie, with its big, round beer belly and skinny pig snout that sticks up from time to time to snort in air. Sometimes it will pop up its whole wrinkled face, and you can see the catlike whiskers and upturned corners of the mouth, a smiling sea cow drifting past in the shallows.

Ask any Florida kid what their favorite animal is, and the manatee is likely at the top of the list. It’s the sea’s most cuddly creature, the unofficial mascot of our local waters.

That image, the ingrained opinion we all have of the adorable manatee, just might save them. Because if something doesn’t happen soon, their remaining time in our waters may be short-lived.

Scientists and environmentalists will tell you the water quality has gotten so poor, manatees on this coast will either die out or leave our area in search of food elsewhere. In a

Hartman was a newcomer to the area, so he recruited Powell to help him as a navigator. In the end, Hartman wrote an article for National Geographic that introduced the world to the Florida manatee, and his writing over the years helped cement its image as a kind, gentle creature worthy of protection.

The attention helped get the manatee on the endangered species list, a designation that likely prevented the sea cow from disappearing altogether from Florida waters. Those no-wake zones you see today? They’re a product of the work Hartman and Powell did back then. And, believe it or not, those efforts also prevented people from hunting and even eating manatees— something that was actually pretty common back then.

CLEARWATER MARINE AQUARIUM RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Powell went on to earn a doctorate in zoology at Cambridge, studied manatees from Africa to Belize, and returned home to work for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). He is now executive director of Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute and one of the world’s foremost experts on manatees.

Over the years, Powell watched as the Florida manatee went from nearly extinct to thriving, with a population estimated today to be around 8,000. But now Powell worries we might be heading back to the dire days of the 1960s. In the past couple of years, manatee deaths have increased exponentially, and researchers fear a bleak future for the species.

If you spend any time on the water, you probably already know the reason: Inland bays and rivers have become so cloudy and murky that manatees simply cannot survive. The problem is that seagrass, one of the main food sources for manatees, can’t grow when waters get too cloudy, says Edith Widder, cofounder of the Fort Pierce–based Ocean Research and Conservation Association (ORCA), a nonprofit with the goal of “mapping pollution, finding solutions.” The murky waters prevent sunlight from reaching the seagrass, at first stunting its growth and eventually killing it. In some spots, Widder has found as much as 10 feet of muck suffocating the seagrass, to the point where it’s like somebody threw a tarp over the seagrass beds.

Without their main food source, manatees are simply starving to death. Between January 1 and June 25 of this year, the FWC recorded 819 dead manatees across the state. That’s 10 percent of all Florida manatees, or about 1 out of every 10. By the end of 2021, we’re on

JUPITER | SEPTEMBER 2021

040_MANATEES_0921.indd 42

8/6/21 9:54 AM

In fact, Widder has already taken some of those steps herself. She recently had her own waterfront property relandscaped, adding a French drainage ditch that catches runoff before it seeps into the lagoon. The work cost $10,000, but it could literally be lifesaving, both for the manatee and for us. Widder says studies have shown that toxic algal blooms can lead to increased chances of liver disease, Alzheimer’s, Lou Gehrig’s disease, and Parkinson’s in humans. “If more homeowners made sure there was no more runoff, it would make a huge difference,” Widder says.

A few years ago, perhaps it would have seemed unlikely to get the public motivated enough to make such changes. But Lighton says there has been a much-needed public outcry recently about local water quality. “People are having an awakening that if the water is so dirty that it’s killing off the manatees, what does it mean for me and my children if we’re swimming in that water?” he says. “Manatees are serving as a canary in the coal mine at this point. I’m very happy that the public has become as bothered by this problem as we are.”

Powell notes that there are examples of other communities that have faced dire water-quality issues and managed to turn things around. In Tampa Bay, for example, efforts to reduce the amount of pollution and nutrients getting dumped into the water have turned over-polluted local waterways back into a healthy estuary again.

“There may be a light at the end of the tunnel,” says Powell. “Well, I won’t say it’s a light yet but maybe a glimmer. People do recognize the problem. We just have to clean up the water, and we know it has been done in other places. Hopefully, there is the political will to do that.” ❖

OUT OF SIGHT! FPL’s Manatee Lagoon offers a rare opportunity to see sea cows—including local star Chessie—doing their thing

I

t’s fair to say Chessie is the Beyoncé of manatees. He earned fame for the first time in 1994 after rescuers took him from the Chesapeake Bay just before a cold front arrived. Since then, he has ditched trackers, flown on a C-130 cargo jet, and starred in children’s books.

In February 2021, FWC officers noticed a manatee floating on its side near Manatee Lagoon, a research and education center near FPL’s power plant in Riviera Beach. The officers knew that when a manatee swims like that, it means it’s in distress. They pulled him out of the water and, using scars to identify him, figured out it was Chessie. Like too many manatees this year, Chessie was weak and sick, barely clinging to life. The officers brought him to SeaWorld for rehabilitation.

Manatees have been coming to the lagoon in Riviera Beach every winter for years to soak in the warm water that comes from FPL’s plant.

In 2016, the company decided to create a facility where researchers, state regulators, and the general public could come to watch manatees in the wild. The site offers interactive exhibits and classes for kids and hosts many events throughout the year. FPL closed the facility in 2020 because of COVID, but it is slated to reopen this fall with a brand new attraction: an interactive, augmented-reality display that shows why solar power is good for wildlife.

This past May, researchers were able to return to the lagoon for a very happy occasion: They released a rehabilitated Chessie back into the waters he has known for 40 years. visitmanateelagoon.com

track to see twice the number of manatee deaths than in a typical year.

Jack Lighton, who spent seven years as president and CEO of Loggerhead Marinelife Center and is now a senior advisor with the global ocean conservation nonprofit SeaLegacy (sealegacy.org), says there’s irrefutable data to show that manatees are in crisis. “The manatee has become, like the sea turtle, our local mascot,” Lighton says. “Now they’re dying at record levels, and people are demanding answers.”

Those death tolls may sound bleak, but it’s not too late. There are solutions, scientists say. And they start, quite literally, in our backyards.

Widder was an internationally renowned deep-sea explorer when she founded ORCA (teamorca.org) in 2005. She had spent a career studying mysteries like bioluminescence, but things had become so bad here that she decided to switch her focus to her home waters.

Back then, Widder recalls she spent a lot of time issuing stern warnings to anyone who would listen. “I was going on and on to homeowner associations and speaking to anyone who would have me, saying we’re reaching a tipping point,” she says.

“I was warning about toxic algal blooms and how much worse it could get. Well, now it has gotten considerably worse.”

Part of the reason for the decrease in water quality is the yearly discharge from Lake Okeechobee, which fills local waterways with silty muck full of nutrients that feed toxic algae, Widder says. To prevent that, we’ll need drastic action by the political powers in Tallahassee or Washington.

That could prove to be a long road, but Widder says there are smaller steps we can take that can make a big difference.

HOLLY MEYER LUCAS

Founder and President, Meyer Lucas Team at Compass Florida

A

s the wife of former professional baseball player Ed Lucas, Holly Meyer Lucas became an expert in relocating when her husband was traded to different teams, forcing them to move around the country many times. As she learned how to find homes in new cities, she also gave advice to other baseball wives who were in the same situation.

“I was good at moving all over the United States,” says Meyer Lucas, who now heads the high-volume Meyer Lucas team at Compass real estate in Jupiter. “There is an art to finding homes and being able to assess how a place looks and feels from pictures. I did a lot of this before, and I learned how to translate it to high-profile client real estate sales from afar.”

As a top-producing luxury real estate specialist in Jupiter and around Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, Meyer Lucas calls on that experience to find the perfect nests for her wealthy clients—many of whom are elite sports and entertainment figures.

When Ed retired from professional baseball in 2015 (the third baseman had been a Miami Marlins player, among other teams, and is now a hitting coach with the San Francisco Giants), the couple was looking for a place to settle down. Of course, Jupiter is a hub for all kinds of professional athletes, from baseball and football players to tennis stars and golf pros—so it seemed like a good fit for their permanent home. “It made sense for us to live around other jocks,” says Meyer Lucas, who was born in Seattle and spent part of her youth overseas in Munich (her father is German). “Jupiter is so convenient and offers us a support system. Resources like training facilities and other specific environments align with our lifestyle.”

50

Meyer Lucas earned a bachelor of arts in German literature and business from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, then worked as a traveling medical sales representative. When the couple moved to Jupiter, she obtained her real estate license and began assembling her team. It now comprises 15 agents, of which three leaders are women.

When hiring new team members, Meyer Lucas is adamant that each hire fits into her ecosystem. “They must radiate a good vibe, have ample energy—even on the phone—and not be intimidating,” she says.

Last year, her team sold nearly $100 million worth of real estate and has already increased that number by $20 million halfway through 2021. “I have built 30 agents over the years,” says Meyer Lucas, the mother of three young children. “Each has a concrete understanding of how real estate works. That training is essential because I want them to do their best.”

Meyer Lucas and her team work with sports agents, financial representatives, and athletes and their wives. Confidentiality agreements protect the identities of her high-profile clients. “I work eight days a week and love it,” says Meyer Lucas, who also enjoys boating, the beach, playing soccer, and golf. “But I take pride in my team of professionals to proxy if I am not there.”

Nationally respected for her skills and work ethic, Meyer Lucas is regularly hired for speaking engagements at sporting events and other functions.

She is proud to be a woman in the male-dominated world of sports. “I am successful because I am a pro,” she says. “I know women run into issues and get pulled down, but my mission is to get rid of that and make sure women rise to the top—and stay there.” meyerlucas.com

AMY KIGHT

Executive Director, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary

B

orn and raised in South Florida, Amy Kight grew up in an animalloving family. A family friend who was a veterinarian offered her her very first job involving animals. “As a volunteer, I’d wipe down the exam rooms, clean bird cages, and watch dogs,” says Kight, who has been the executive director of Busch Wildlife Sanctuary for the past four years. “Working with animals is my passion because every day is different.”

Kight is highly qualified for her job with the not-for-profit organization dedicated to the protection and conservation of Florida wildlife and natural resources. In 2002, she earned a bachelor of arts in psychology from Florida Atlantic University, later obtaining an associate’s degree of applied science in veterinary technology from St. Petersburg College.

“I have worked at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary for more than 15 years in different capacities and was already employed there when I went back to college to learn why you give medicine to patients and how to keep wildlife healthy,” she says. “I love nature and all animals, so education and caring for them is not work for me.”

Kight worked her way to the top of one of the most respected local wildlife organizations, which is also a leader in conservation education. She served as the sanctuary’s education director for five years before being promoted to animal control director and then executive director in 2017.

Prior to joining the sanctuary, she worked as Palm Beach County’s wildlife officer; she also holds multiple certifications and is an internationally certified wildlife rehabilitator.

In 1994, the Peter W. Busch Family Foundation joined the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Environmental Education Center to create Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. Today, the sanctuary offers free medical and rehab care to about 5,000 patients across more than 256 different species with the goal of returning each to its respective natural habitat.

52

Over the years, the sanctuary has rescued hawks, great blue herons, screech owls, squirrels, bald eagles, deer, foxes, bobcats, and panthers, among others. Last year, Kight and her team treated around 5,600 wildlife patients at their hospital. She applauds her staff of 26 and another 100 volunteers who devote their time during season, many of them women. “I hire a lot of females,” says Kight. “They seem to be drawn to this industry and love it as much as I do.”

Kight lives in Jupiter Farms with her husband, chickens, donkeys, dogs, cats, and a porcupine. “My pets are my children,” she says. She arrives at work each day around 7:30 a.m. after she has finished tending to her “zoo at home.”

Under her leadership, the sanctuary is in the middle of a huge expansion. Kight is currently in meetings with architects, surveyors, and planners because the sanctuary, which relies on donations, is moving from its current Jupiter location to loftier and larger quarters in Jupiter Farms, hopefully by March 2022. The facility size is increasing from 11 to 19.4 acres. “We are devoting 5 acres to rehab, adding more hospital space, outdoor acreage, and parking, and will host exhibits,” says Kight. “We intend to show visitors how things used to look in Florida.”

Kight finds her work extremely satisfying because she understands that humans share an environment with wildlife—and that we must respect one another. That goes for all species, even venomous reptiles like the two rattlesnakes, copperhead, and water moccasin who are part of her wildlife family.

Giving animals freedom after they heal from injury, illness, or just being scared creates a bond between human and animal that Kight believes the animals understand. “It is amazing,” she says. “I especially love the part where I can hold a bald eagle on my arm and see the connection.” buschwildlife.org

NANCY A. POLITSCH

CEO and CFO, Lighthouse Art Center Gallery & School of Art

I

n addition to being a financial expert, Nancy A. Politsch has spent years pursuing the arts as a hobby, taking pictures and publishing two photography books. In 2016, when a creative opportunity presented itself, she gave up her wealth management job to take the reins at Lighthouse Art Center Gallery & School of Art in Tequesta.

“Even though my background is in finance, I have always loved art and photography,” says Politsch, who was born in Kansas City and later moved to St. Louis as a child. “While working at Wells Fargo in Baltimore, I was on the board of Maryland Hall, a multidisciplinary arts center in Annapolis. When some of my wealth clients who were on the boards of both [Maryland Hall and Lighthouse] asked me to come to Lighthouse, my husband said, ‘Let’s go!’’’

Politsch was excited, if a bit skeptical, about leaving the security of her finance job. But she’s not sorry that she did. “Lighthouse wanted to come into the twenty-first century and connect to the community,” says Politsch, who recently celebrated five years as the center’s CEO and CFO. “I help with finances, hired a new auditor, bought new computers, and, with a great team, helped make us the best art center we can be.”

Her impressive background was just what Lighthouse needed. The board was seeking a talented pro to improve the not-for-profit center’s financial arm and also make it more relevant. With a master’s degree in finance from the University of Missouri, Politsch had worked for Bank of America and other financial institutions in similar capacities around the country, eventually becoming a senior vice president and wealth advisor at Wells Fargo Private

54

Bank in Baltimore. That experience, combined with her passion for the arts, made her the perfect mix of financially savvy and creatively curious. “I save us money and make us money,” she says. “Since I am not actually an artist, I can focus on making Lighthouse bigger and better.”

Lighthouse was founded in 1964 by a group of eight artists and Christopher Norton, the son of the founders of the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. Today, Lighthouse hosts classes and workshops, including ceramics, drawing, jewelry making, painting, photography, and sculpture. It offers senior art options, teen and veterans programs, art camps, special needs classes, an improved glass program, and outreach experiences. The gallery also hosts revolving exhibitions, like the current show, Women in the Visual Arts, running September 7 through October 29.

“Our team members are passionate about their work,” says Politsch, the mother of two grown children in their thirties. “As a not-for-profit, we need to love this place and go beyond. I hire women when I can who share my vision, and I empower them. I don’t micro-manage.”

Politsch drives to work from her home in Port St. Lucie sometimes six days a week. She often snaps photos of Lighthouse projects for both personal and professional enjoyment. “I find the most rewarding part of my work is when I see people who are wowed when they come in,” she says. “Visitors make new friends here, we offer scholarships to kids, and we introduce art to all different folks. We bring joy into people’s lives.” lighthousearts.org

THE LADIES OF LOVE STREET

LIZ SOULEN, Director of Operations; DANIELLE COFFARO, General Manager, Beacon and Topside at the Beacon; MEGHAN WRIGHT, Principal Bartender; JENNIFFER WOO, Executive Pastry Chef

W

hen Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street opened its doors in February, the community showed up in droves to get a taste of the long-awaited project by two of the area’s very familiar faces, Charlie Modica and Joe Namath. The dynamic duo put their project in the hands of some top-tier professionals—with four experienced women leading the charge in various aspects.

“I am happy to be around these great female decision makers,” says football great Namath, who co-owns the unique hospitality experience with Modica, his friend and business partner.“I have been lucky in my life!”

With views of the Jupiter Lighthouse, Love Street encompasses four concepts: Lucky Shuck Oyster Bar & Taphouse, Beacon, Topside at the Beacon, and The Tacklebox. Overseeing all four establishments is Liz Soulen, who brings 20 years of experience to her important role as Love Street’s director of operations. Born in West Virginia and raised in South Florida, Soulen learned the hospitality business early on. “I’d watch my grandmother cook, and I also had a good cooking teacher at Spanish River High School in Boca Raton,” she says. “I learned the service side of the industry at places like Charley’s Crab, 11 Maple Street, and the Sailfish Point Country Club. I like the instant gratification of the work; we give people a moment to check out of daily stresses.”

Soulen, who earned a food and beverage management degree from Florida Culinary Institute in 1999, helped establish partnerships with many local vendors while Love Street was in development. As she was seeking talent, female department heads came naturally, she says. She also likes to “teach leadership, watch staffers grow, and share successes.” “I take what I love and implement it for the community,” says Soulen. “This is a culture I want to build.”

Keeping things running at both Beacon and Topside at the Beacon is General Manager Danielle Coffaro. Born near Rochester, New York, Coffaro decided at age 14 that she wanted to tackle the hospitality industry when she began busing at a restaurant in her hometown. After graduating summa cum laude from Pace University in 2012 with a bachelor of business administration in hospitality administration management, she worked in a variety of New York City restaurants and bars. But she soon grew weary of the cold weather.

On a whim, she drove to West Palm Beach with a friend and promptly found a job as a server at the now-closed but well-respected Jardin. “I then spent a few years managing restaurants and bars at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, and I really grew to love the business,” says Coffaro. “I like being busy and seeing people come out to eat and have fun. There is an air of happiness and positivity.”

On the job, Coffaro believes in open communication among team members and says she has such appreciation for the female department heads, who are as genuine as could be. The most rewarding part of the job, she says, is that her team provides such a high level of service. “Beacon is pure culinary theater,” she says. “It’s like a dance, where everyone takes a position. We have a host, busboys, and servers, and when all parts of the performance come together, it is beautiful.”

56

A perfect fit for this “culinary theater” is Meghan Wright. A classically trained ballerina who has danced with the Pittsburgh, Sacramento, and Sarasota ballet companies, Wright is the choreographer behind the extravagant cocktails at Love Street. To get a good idea of her creative talent, try the Fog on the Water (rhum agricole blanc, cognac, navy strength gin, passion fruit, amontillado sherry, orgeat, lime blackstrap rum) or the Mr. G (prosecco, clarified strawberry muscat, yuzu, basil), two stellar examples of her skills.

Born and raised in Tampa, Wright left ballet due to an injury. “When I was trying to get my strength back, I became a hostess at Ruby Tuesday’s on the west coast of Florida,” she explains. “I would stare at the bartenders to learn how to make drinks. I fell in love with the profession and found it to be an easy transition [from ballet] because the technique and skills involved were similar.

I had to be creative in the same manner.” After stints at establishments like Chops Lobster Bar in Boca Raton and Voltaire in West Palm Beach, she is now principal bartender in charge of three cocktail programs at Love Street.

Wright keeps high standards and says she appreciates having female bosses—she believes they have a stronger drive. “Women work hard with push, passion, and desire,” she says. “If we have new ideas, they have to be different and solid. I like the creative process, and I have learned so much.”

If Love Street satisfies your sweet tooth, you have Jenniffer Woo to thank for that. As executive pastry chef, she’s responsible for all of the delectable concoctions at each dining establishment.

Woo first became interested in the business watching Cake-Off on the Food Network. Born in Miami, she knew by age 15 that she wanted to be a pastry chef. “I started working in restaurants while I was in school because I was eager to start putting art on a plate,” says Woo, who earned a bachelor of science in food service from Johnson & Wales in 2015. “I love being innovative and making the dessert presentation an event.”

She gained valuable experience as a pastry chef in a variety of Miami-area restaurants, including Catch, Makoto, and Komodo, before moving to Jupiter to join the team at 1000 North and now the team at Love Street. She was thrilled when she learned she’d be working with so many talented women at Love Street. “Love Street seemed different for me because I was used to working in the kitchen with men,” says Woo, who is an artist/painter on the side.

ANIMAL RESCUE, CARE & ADVOCACY Patricia Deshong Furry Friends

Pat Deshong’s passion for animals started as a child. It’s no wonder she grew up to channel that same loving energy to helm the largest no-kill animal rescue in north Palm Beach County. As president, she led the nonprofit through a global pandemic while keeping the doors open to its adoption facility and veterinary hospital. She also managed its 27-acre ranch in Palm City and thrift boutique in Jupiter.

Simultaneously, she oversaw a multimillion-dollar capital campaign resulting in a new, state-of-theart,15,000-square-foot facility in Jupiter. “These wins couldn’t have happened without our management team, employees, volunteers, board of directors, and generous community donors,” she says. “It takes a village to accomplish all that we have created at Furry Friends.” Of all the organization’s accomplishments, the Shelter to Service Dog program touches her heart the most. “The work we do not only saves animals’ lives but saves the lives of our nation’s heroes: our veterans,” says Deshong. “Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals. Watching a shelter animal leave with an adopter or veteran for their forever home is the most gratifying and rewarding experience. If you do what you love, you never have to work a day in your life.”

hen Leslie Pecoraro started Motherboard Charcuterie in 2019, it was a natural outgrowth of her heritage.

“I grew up in a family that was part Italian and part Jewish, so I was always surrounded by food and celebration,” she says. Her business multiplied during the pandemic, when customers preferred to stay home and avoid shopping. Options start at $15 and range up to $300 for an elaborate board that

serves 25. Pecoraro customizes each order according to the theme or occasion. She also offers candy boards and brunch spreads, and she caters to dietary restrictions such as vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free. “It’s an eating adventure, and the trend is universal,” she says. “I’m friendly with charcuterie people all over the world. You don’t need a reason to celebrate.” motherboardcharcuterie.com —Mark Spivak SEPTEMBER 2021 | JUPITER

ealthy eating in the local area took a major step forward with the March opening of Plant Based Mafia in Palm Beach Gardens. The restaurant represents a serious attempt to bring vegan and vegetarian cooking into the mainstream. According to owner/Chef Daniel Costanza, it all comes down to taste.

“We’re an Italian restaurant that just happens to use all vegan ingredients,” he says. “We want to introduce non-vegans to vegan food. Nearly 75 percent of our customers are non-vegans who are being influenced to live a healthier lifestyle.”

Costanza, who has been cooking since he was 5, was diagnosed with clogged arteries in 2014. He began revolutionizing his diet while still working in the Los Angeles film industry, then explored the idea of opening a restaurant after moving to

Florida. He developed the Plant Based Mafia menu using his Italian heritage as a reference point, and he sees no conflict between the cooking he grew up with and what he’s now serving to customers.

The touchstone of his kitchen is his trademark Sweet Heat marinara, which blends San Marzano tomatoes, caramelized onions, cane sugar, habaneros, and red pepper flakes. It turns up in popular sandwiches such as The Long G’Islander (a hand-battered, soy-based “fried chicken” cutlet served on toasted garlic bread with smoked provolone) as well as pasta dishes like The Hitman (Costanaza’s award-winning sweet rigatoni topped with melted vegan mozzarella, house-made sweet ricotta, and Impossible meatballs). Pasta dishes are served family-style, and gluten-free pasta is also available.

His vision for the future is ambitious. Plant Based Mafia was originally designed to be a chain or franchise operation, and a second location is on the drawing board. Costanza is also developing what he calls a “five-star concept,” which would be a gourmet, white-tablecloth Italian restaurant with a vegan menu. He foresees a day when Plant Based Mafia will be a chain of sandwich shops, complemented by the more formal restaurants. Food trucks are also a possibility. Whatever path he takes, Costanza is dedicated to the proposition that food can be good for you and taste good too. plantbasedmafia.com

FEAST for the Senses

ACCLAIMED CHEF PUSHKAR MARATHE DELVES INTO THALI CUISINE AT HIS NEW SPOT, ELA

P

ushkar Marathe, the acclaimed Indian chef and proprietor of Stage in Palm Beach Gardens, is poised to open his second restaurant in town. Marathe and his partner, Andy Dugard, have leased the space formerly occupied by Tim Lipman’s Coolinary Café (which will move into a larger location in the Donald Ross Village Plaza). In November, the duo will debut their new eatery, Ela. Meaning “cardamom” in Sanskrit, Ela will feature traditional Thali cuisine along with a selection of Indian chaat, or street foods. “Thali is a quintessential eating experience in India,” says Marathe. “It’s a part of daily life, and it is steeped in history. When you enjoy Thali in its most elaborate form, it normally serves as a celebratory feast for your eyes and senses, with its array of colors, flavors, and textures.”

Thali meals consist of multiple components and dishes served on a large plate. A typical assortment would include a grain (usually rice), a lentil dish, vegetables and chutney, raita (yogurt combined with raw or cooked vegetables), as well as pickles and papadum (a deep-fried, savory snack). This approach will differ from Stage, which focuses on an assortment of small plates from Marathe’s native Maharashtra state. Like Stage, however, Ela’s bar program will highlight cocktails from resident mixologist Bootleg Greg, along with craft beers from breweries within a 50-mile radius. The restaurant will also have a chef’s counter with space for diners to enjoy an intimate, Indian omakase-style experience.

“Ela will offer traditional Indian cuisine, which is not easily found in the neighborhood,” says Marathe. “We’ll not only be cooking good food, but we’ll also create a unique experience for the diner.” elacurrykitchen.com —M.S.

Matthias Fretz, Your Coastal Specialist Experience the Difference

N

A

w With a deep understanding and passion for our waterways, Matthias brings an extra level of expertise when selling properties here in Northern Palm Beach County. Having sold over $250 million of local residential property*, setting countless local real estate records along the way, Matthias is well versed and connected within our luxury markets.

Matthias' market knowledge is backed by the global giant Douglas Elliman, resulting in his properties selling for higher prices per square foot, closer to list price, and with fewer days on market than average. His direct connection with top producing agents and their communities in New York, New

U

England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, and other

G

markets that support ours, is what creates the maximum

D

amount of exposure for his listings.

It is critical to hire a real estate professional that will not only get you top dollar but also make the process seamless.

Whether selling a direct intracoastal, canal, or oceanfront estate, Matthias is deeply considerate of each client’s needs and understands the intricacies of selling high-end homes in Northern Palm Beach County. Full-time and committed, top producer locally for almost a decade, he also holds a B.A. in marketing and is proud to raise his family here in Northern Palm Beach County. With a true appreciation for the waterman lifestyle, Matthias' passions include

N

spearfishing, freediving, boating with his family, surfing,

G

and giving back to the community.
