Inside Walk Your Plans
Getting to Know Cal
What do you really do at Walk Your Plans?
I help our new licensees get their doors open by coordinating their location search, build-out, and equipment installation. I also serve as one point of contact for any tech support needs after they are open.
How long have you been here?
I interned for a summer and fall in 2024 and started full time in January of 2025, so officially just over a year and a half!
What's something people don't know about your role?
If I'm ever helping someone put out a fire, they're probably not the only one...
Favorite WYP memory?
Officially opening the second location in Grand Rapids, MI. Our first location after Cleveland
In your career, what's one thing you've learned the hard way?
If you have bad news, it's better to tell them immediately than not give any news at all.
Fun fact about yourself?
I love playing pool. I grew up playing pool with my dad, and now whenever I go out with friends there is a very high chance I'll be glued to the pool table all night.
What's one place still on your travel bucket list?
Alaska
What's a skill you've always wanted to learn?
I'd love to start playing golf, but I don't have the time or money to fall down that rabbit hole.

Sadly, night owl :(
