Our Founders

Deanna and Justin reimagined the Uplifting Mansion as a living symbol of Milwaukee’s resilience and creativity. Their vision blends historic preservation with purposeful innovation—creating a space where business, community, and joy intersect.

More than a family legacy, it’s a movement. Together with their children and the Flying Elephant family of companies, they’ve built a home for entrepreneurship, art, and social good—empowering Milwaukee to rise, connect, and thrive.

Official Partner

We’re proud to partner with Visit Milwaukee, the city’s official tourism organization dedicated to showcasing Milwaukee as a premier destination for business and leisure travel—locally, nationally, and abroad.
