who we are.

We started with nothing but an idea, a few buckets, and a basement.

Back when most of our friends were still figuring out their majors, we were brewing beer in Michael’s parents’ basement—chasing a dream with no experience, no roadmap, and zero formal training. Just grit, Google, and an unshakable belief that we could build something real.

People laughed. Some doubted. Others said we were too young, too naive, too bold.
They weren’t wrong—we were young, and we did have to learn everything the hard way. From late nights washing kegs to early mornings rewriting business plans, we built our first brand on trial, error, and relentless drive.

Fast forward a few years, and that basement-born idea has grown into a multi-million dollar hospitality group with three thriving restaurants and four powerhouse brands. We’ve lived the hustle, felt the pressure, and fought through the fire. And we’re still standing—stronger, smarter, and more committed than ever.

Now, we’re taking everything we’ve learned and putting it to work for others. Bold Citizen Group was built for the next wave of business owners who are brave enough to start, and bold enough to keep going. We know what it’s like to bet on yourself with nothing but vision—and we’re here to help you win that bet.

This isn’t theory. This is real-world, been-through-it, built-from-scratch experience.
We’ve been the underdogs. Now we’re the partners we wish we had.

Built by the bold. Made for the bold. Welcome to Bold Citizen Group.
