McNulty, Sam

Education: Cleveland State University

What Guides My Decision Making: I’m a voracious reader and was raised by two thoughtful and conscientious parents, and I firmly believe you can be a capitalist with a conscience and should leave the world better than we found it. 

Favorite Quote: “A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are built for.” And a close second: “Rules are for the guidance of wise men, and the blind obedience of fools.” 

What Motivates Me: I really enjoy the problem-solving and creative aspects of entrepreneurial business, and knowing that our restaurants, bars, dance clubs and breweries are bringing joy to people’s lives.

Hobby/Passion: My wife Ciara and I love hiking with our two rescue dogs, year-round bicycling and exploring all across Cleveland, traveling the world, and we’re always happy to return to a happy home in Duck Island.

If I Were a Character from a TV Show or Movie, I’d Be: Kramer from Seinfeld or Napoleon Dynamite
