OUR TEAM
Our Leadership
CHASE HEATHERLY
Chase is always out and about—traveling, playing kickball or racquetball, or organizing dinner plans with friends. He’s the boss, sure, but also the most social guy you know.
If something’s happening, he’s probably already there.
COOPER CREWS
Cooper’s usually out adventuring with Charlie, her Boxer-Husky sidekick, checking out a new city’s food scene, or tracking down the perfect local sour. She’s got scenic hiking trails saved like playlists—and yes, she’s always got a rec.
JUSTIN FINLEY
Justin Finley is a laid-back dad of three (two boys and one fur-baby) with a knack for turning simple ideas into wildly over-complicated projects. He’s into puzzles, kayaking, Camden, SC, Clemson Football, and gets way too excited about analytics—and yes, he talks with his hands. A lot.
DEMI KULL
Demi lives for adventures and aesthetic vibes, whether she’s on an architecture walk, exploring a new city, dabbling with one of her many cameras or planning her next roadtrip. She’s famous for her love of people and process, and always down for love, lattes, and a little charm.
KERRY WELCH
Raised in Hawaii, naturally, Kerry’s never met a beach or body of water she didn’t love. Between wrangling two teenage boys and scoping out Charleston’s hot spots, she’s always in the know. Her true talent? Crafting standout PR campaigns and building real connections.
Our Team
ERIC AYALA
Eric’s either cheering on the Gamecocks, watching the Panthers with enthusiastic optimism, or out golfing, fishing, and hanging with his Golden Retriever, Maverick. Sports, sunshine, and spoiled dogs pretty much sum him up.
KAMIL BAYCORA
Kamil’s all about the simple joys—beach days, walks with his dog, Moose, homemade meals, and a good excuse to travel. If it involves sunshine, good food, or a new place to explore, he’s in.
KEGAN BRUMLEY
Kegan keeps it classic: guitar in hand, game controller nearby, and something tasty always on the menu. Add a good movie and he’s all set—just good vibes, good food, and a solid soundtrack.
ANNA MARGARET FOSTER
Anna Margaret’s either in a yoga flow, taste-testing her way through Charleston’s best spots, jamming out to live music, or chasing beach days. She’s all about good vibes, great food, and a solid stretch.
BOB GIFFORD
There’s a good chance you will find Bob biking along the 20-mile uninterrupted bike path that hugs Lake Michigan, or at a college game, especially B1G Ten Football and B1G Ten Volleyball. Cycling and college sports are in his DNA.
MITCHELL HALL
Mitchell’s all about family, hanging out with his homies and playing his guitar. Oh—and he bakes bread from scratch, because nothing says rock and roll like a fresh sourdough.
ZACH KINSLEY
Zach’s either walking his pup Shiloh, hitting the gym, or trying to keep his plants alive with maybe too much water or sunlight? Dog dad, plant hopeful, and always on the move.
MEGAN LLEWELLYN
Megan’s your go-to for a karaoke duet, a story that somehow takes 20 minutes, or a last-minute shopping trip. She’s a yapper, a chronic craft-starter and a walking good time—just ask her (or her dog, who she will show you a picture of).
RENAE SCHEUTTER
Renae’s all about the balance—hot yoga by day, wine club by night. Charleston socialite, coffee connoisseur, and always down to check out a new local bar. Catch her sipping, stretching, and being fabulous.
RYAN WILLINGHAM
Ryan’s all about laid-back fun—hitting the golf course, strumming his guitar, or dominating at cornhole. Whether it’s game time or jam time, he brings the chill with a drink in hand.
