Thomas (he/him) is a recent transplant from Boston, where he was serving as the Director of Operations for the Concerned Citizens of Randolph, a Boston area non-profit where he built a grass-roots food access program that saw three weekly free grocery distributions in multiple suburbs and weekly hot meal programs within the city, while managing a vast network of local churches and volunteer organizations to achieve each program. He is looking forward to continuing that food systems work in Kansas City, with a focus on building that ever-important community connection to local agriculture.

Marti (she/her) is a graduate of Central Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Services and a minor in Business Administration. She is an experienced Sales & Marketing Manager with a demonstrated history of working in the food service, publishing, and fashion industries.

Marti joined the Hub in February 2022 where her focus is to develop lasting relationships with our wholesale and retail customers while sharing her enthusiasm for fresh, locally produced food!

Amy (they/them) is excited to be joining the Kansas City Food Hub team. Within the past 5 years they have worked on multiple farms within Lawrence Kansas. In 2022 they started growing Medicinal Herbs and long-term storage veg, on a quarter acre space in North Lawrence at the Incubator Farm. Over the last year they have also learned the trade of shearing sheep. On their time off you can find them working on fiber projects, immersed on a forest hike, recording episodes for Prairie Ramblings Podcast, cooking food with friends and admiring their adorable cat.
