A founding partner of Riverside, Mary jumped in as a leap of faith in 1997 and hasn't looked back since. Her background in psychology, counseling, textiles and education give her a unique perspective on the tableware industry. Always asking questions, she has a knack for listening, bringing people together and building relationships both in and out of the office. In 2009, she was honored by the Pittsburgh Business Times as an Outstanding Women in Business. Her passions are her grandson, family, friends, cheese, fresh fruit, coffee, wine, and bourbon - in that order. She lives in and adores Pittsburgh, PA.
