Born and raised in L.A. County, Ed St. Geme met Co-CEO Chris Britt while the two attended Stanford University, where they often enjoyed eating at the inaugural Mountain Mike’s in Palo Alto, CA.

Today St. Geme and Britt share the role of Co-CEOs as they work to add about 20 units a year with a goal of growing the chain by 100 units by 2025.
