After 34 years in corporate management, I decided it was time to follow my passion—for food, music, and creating unforgettable experiences. Venue1903 was born from my love of entertaining, inspired by my favorite bands and the joy of sharing great food in a laid-back setting.
You’ll find the truck parked at English Estate Winery, always playing a mix of my favorite tunes—whether there’s live music or not happening at the winery. Every dish is made with a little rock & roll flair.

I recharge every September at music festivals Bumbershoot in Seattle and Ohana Fest in Dana Point, CA, and you’ll often find me at live shows around Portland. Outside the kitchen, I’m a proud sports mom and the go-to snack queen on the sidelines. Even though it’s a food truck, I aim to bring a little upscale comfort to every dish, something that complements the relaxed beauty of English Estates. Venue1903 is my way of blending comfort food, great vibes, and a love for music into something special—welcome to the experience!
