Malcolm Beckwith

While attending the University of Massachusetts - Amherst, Malcolm fell in love with creating events that gave people the opportunity to experience "moments". His love of creating impactful experiences spanned from food, entertainment and cultural events. Malcolm became known as the big man with an even bigger plan.
Upon graduating, Malcolm never stopped searching for the elements that create kismet moments for people. He spent more than 15 years in various senior retail marketing leadership roles at Fortune 100 companies. His unique approach to consumer marketing and brands once again made him the man with the plan.
Partnered with his brothers and fellow bon vivants, he is intent on leaving this world better than when he found it. Malcolm’s prescription of love, comradely, harmony and a belly full of delicious moments may be just what the world needs a little more of right now.

Gourmand Rediscovered.
By the tender age of 3, Patrice was learning his way around the kitchen, helping his Mom and Aunts prepare meals for large family gatherings. His love for all things culinary was cemented when he started cooking and spontaneously preparing dinner/late-night gatherings for friends in college.
By the time her graduated the University of Massachusetts Amherst, he had not only perfected the craft of hosting a sophisticated college dinner party, but also was handling the logistics of small and large events across the University system and Western Massachusetts area.
Instead of returning home and starting an illustrious career as a top-notch event planner, Patrice amassed more than 15 years of experience in the health, wellness and luxury lifestyle industries. But that is ok, for this has led him to unapologetically rediscover and embrace his passion once and for all: mixing good food, drinks and friends, and having a hell of a good time doing it.
