The Trap has been a local landmark since 1861. This year, the Lukenbill family took on the project reconstructing it while preserving its essence. I've worked closely with them, designing the website, creating marketing materials, and even bartending. It's an ongoing project that keeps evolving, and I'm excited to soon paint a mural.

Mariah and Gregg Lukenbill are a dynamic duo. Gregg, known as the founder of the Sacramento Kings basketball team and other iconic projects like the Hyatt Regency and Arco Arena, is practically a legend here. Now, he owns the bar with his lovely daughter, and being around them, I'm constantly learning. Gregg often says running a business is like balancing plates on your head with your hair on fire.
