Adam is the owner of Curo Managed Print Production and the current Board President of the Duarte Chamber of Commerce. His love for printing, design and project management began while working in a small print shop while obtaining degrees in Graphic Design and Visual Effects. Much of his career has been in leadership positions for some of the top print organizations in the nation with a focus on managed print services.
 
In 2015, Adam and his wife, Lily, opened Curo Managed Print Production.

Having a family that prefers anything other than cakes, Kelly went in search of the perfect decorated cookie to bake for celebrations and events. After twelve years, she finally found it and has perfected it to what is now, their Signature Lemon Glazed Cookie. These cookies have been requested over the years for every holiday, party or school events. They have been made for gifts at parties in lieu of goodie bags. It really takes the party theme to another level. After being told time and time again that she should make these to sell, she decided to do just that … and Lemon Drop Cookie Shop was born!
