Kevin Healy is the owner of HOUSEpitality Family, a restaurant group that is the outcome of his 30-year career as an independent restaurant owner which started with Sundays, now The Boathouse at Sunday Park, back in 1988. In that span of time, Healy has seen the restaurant group grow from one location and concept to six locations and multiple concepts, with projects that include riverfront revitalization like The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing and collaborative community efforts like The Boathouse at City Point. Leading a team that has a unique level of retention for what is known to be a high turnover industry, Healy promotes playing nice and treating everyone with respect, two things that are large contributors to the positive culture that exists within HOUSEpitality Family. Healy's favorite part of HOUSEpitality Family? No question, it's celebrating life with guests - both the team members that he considers internal guests, and the external guests - as they experience life's special moments. When he's not thinking about what's next, Healy enjoys spending time with his family and traveling.
Kim Harrison is HOUSEpitality Family's Director of Marketing. Kim is equal parts data-driven and customer-minded, with a diverse background in restaurant and event management, higher education administration, and corporate marketing. She approaches work and life with the same values: always remember your "why", always seek opportunities to learn and grow, always make time for laughter, and always choose to be kind. When she's not buried in her MacBook looking for the next big marketing innovation or spinning up some fun on social media, Kim can be found in her home kitchen creating new recipes or nurturing her extensive houseplant collection. She also enjoys reading (extensively), watching horror movies, and attempting (and failing) to outwit her son on the soccer field.
