Flip has worked in several different fields throughout his career including work for two non-profits in South Africa and Brooklyn, teaching, and advertising. Alongside current Gertie partner, Will Edwards, he co-founded Pestle & Mortar, a catering business and market stall at Smorgasburg. Through Will, Flip met Nate Adler and began working as a server and later Assistant General Manager at Huertas. While at Huertas, Flip worked with Nate and Will on conception and buildout of Gertie.
