Junior Achievement - As a young person, it feels like you can’t make a huge impact with your dollars, but as a young volunteer, you’re better able to relate to school-age kids.The festival is around my birthday, so that’s fun too! I love its offbeat nature and having the chance to see interesting people doing bizarre things in the streets.ĭo you have a favorite charity/nonprofit you like to support? Remote Rochester and off-the-wall events like that are fantastic.
My parents lived in Corn Hill for a long time, so it’s fun to walk around Corn Hill Festival with them as they’re saying hi to everyone and pointing out landmarks. What's the most unique or interesting event you've attended in Rochester? It’s great to learn about culture and make friends in the special space Niraj creates. I also attended a traditional Japanese tea ceremony at Leaf once. I went on a Tea Adventure there with Niraj, a non-alcoholic happy hour with a small group of people, and stayed in touch with all the people I met! That says a lot about how Niraj can craft a memorable experience. I don’t wanna be that guy, but I knew about it way back! At first, they were located in the Hungerford. We can all be co-authors of the city’s future! Decisions are being made right now in Rochester that will echo for generations.ĭo you have any favorite/secret Rochester spots? In a lot of other cities, you can get lost in the shuffle, but here, I can take on a leadership role. Some of the first things I got involved with were Rochester Young Professionals and Rochester Rotary. I was gone for about seven years, and had to rebuild my network from scratch when I moved here. Our city is the perfect size-it’s big enough that there’s enough to do, but small enough that you can get involved and make an impact. What is your favorite part of living in Rochester? All the stars aligned, and I’ve been back in Rochester for about six years now. While I was living in Boston, both of my sisters moved back to Rochester, and my dad asked me to come home and join the family business.
When I graduated, I felt like I should have gone to school further away from home, so I moved to Boston to work with Wegmans on a management training program. I lived in Corn Hill for a few years when I was younger, and then we moved to West Irondequoit.
