Now, let’s meet our guest, Steven Crutchfield. Steven is from Villa Cappelli in Italy. Villa Cappelli is a company (and a villa estate!) that focuses on authentic Italian foods, olive oil, conserve, and travel. Steven grew up in Kennedy, Texas, and then attended the University of Texas. After graduation, he moved to NY and worked for magazines as a copywriter. Most notable among his jobs were Everyday with Rachel Ray, Taste of Home, and Family Handyman. In 2012, Steven left the corporate world behind and moved to Italy with his partner, Paul. Paul has roots and family in Italy, so they began their adventure that has blossomed into Villa Cappelli.
