Rock On: “I’ve seen Ween over 20 times, and will drop anything and everything when a show pops up.”Clean Living: “Five years sober and truly grateful. There’s one thing I engage in more than being a father and Gigpro, and that’s helping others find a new way to live.”Impressive Ink: “I’m obsessed with tattoos. They’re a map of my life through permanent reminders and a great investment—the only thing you can buy and actually die with.”A Walk in the Woods: “I absolutely love hiking. No e-mail. No push notifications. No Amazon. I think a lot of life lessons come from nature: Slow down and waste nothing.”Wild Things: “My kids and I go to Caw Caw Interpretive Center hundreds of times a year and think it’s Charleston’s best kept secret. It’s also a hot spot during mushroom season.”Chef Ben Ellsworth launched the Gigpro food-and-beverage jobs app in Charleston just before the pandemic. Now, it’s filling shifts in multiple cities, including Charlotte and Nashville.
