Business Owner

Genie is the chef/owner extraordinaire of The Floridian. A true native (going back 8 generations on her mother's side), she grew up in Nassau County and cut her teeth in Gainesville at various restaurants while attending the University of Florida. Self-taught and driven, Genie and her husband Jeff (who runs the front-of-the-house) opened The Floridian in 2010 with the goal of bringing creative and dynamic dining downtown, coupled with a casual and comfortable atmosphere in which the food can be enjoyed. Her other passions include 4-year-old son Graham, traveling to warm water locales, snorkeling, interior designing and cats.
