Francesca Ney

Her approach to life is simple, really: “Be kind to one another”, a quote she borrows from the great philosopher and daytime television host, Ellen Degeneres. Ches chooses optimism, to see the world as a glass half full; and this affinity for seeking the good in everyone and everything is evidenced in her preference for congenial cinema choices ranging from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original, obviously) to The Princess Bride.

Her happy place is anywhere close to the water; where she can relax on a beach or get out for a boat ride. Ches is also a huge soccer fan, a keen player in her youth, she now stays true to her roots cheering for the Tennessee University Volunteers football team.

She also likes the Cleveland Browns but they won’t try to explain that anomaly.
