Art's journey began while working at Costco as a kiosk marketer standing near the exit door. During this time, he engaged with professional shoppers and Amazon resellers, gaining valuable insights into their industry. This experience led to the development of his concept for a Costco grocery shopping platform,  initially called the "Errand Microsite." This idea eventually sparked his current venture setting up the Guest Groceries website offering custom shopping platforms for resort management companies, and entrepreneurial spirits looking to start their ventures.
