WRITTEN BY ELIZABETH LIBERATORE

Take Action with National Hair Loss Be proactive about your hair’s health with preventive and restorative treatments

You’ve heard his voice stream through your car’s speakers during your morning commute talking about his hair transplant, personal laser device, & PRP. Johnjay Van Es, from The Morning Show with Johnjay and Rich, shares his story of hair loss and how he maintains a full head of hair thanks to National Hair Loss.

Stephen Madaus started losing his hair in his early 30s and sought out many treatments. Now, with over 8,000 Instagram followers and a career in hair loss, Stephen shares his experience and knowledge in hopes of helping men restore their hair and confidence.

Q: Why did you seek out hair treatment?

Johnjay: I was at a clothing store and I saw Al Mccoy, the announcer of the Phoenix Suns, and I asked for a picture with him. When I posted it on social media I couldn’t believe how bald I looked and all the people who posted about my baldness.

Q: Describe your experience with hair loss?

SM: My hair loss began 6 years ago when my hairstylist discovered a quarter size round bald spot in the back of my head. After losing a majority of my hair, I wanted to know my options to stop hair loss and saw a dermatologist who diagnosed me with Alopecia. There was no information provided just a term which lead me to the Internet – where most of us are guilty of “self-treating” our symptoms.

Q: Describe your consultation experience at National Hair Loss?

JJ: It was very informative. Carly Klein showed me where I landed on the Norwood Scale for hair loss and where I was headed with no stabilizing the loss. Then she showed me the microscopic photos of my hair, which revealed how weak my hairs were and how many could be reversed.

Q: Have National Hair Loss treatment boosted your confidence?

JJ: Yes, I feel good about it because I trust National Hair Loss. I know what I have done in the past and got results. I realize that I have to stop the loss but I want the best alternatives for regrowth.

Q: Would you recommend National Hair Loss to a friend?

JJ: I have done ALL the research. I know every doctor and every recovery program and what I’m doing and whom I’m doing it with. That said, I would 100% recommend this to anyone experiencing hair loss. I have some of my closest friends on the program with me!

CARLY KLEIN Founder & President

No-cost Hair Evaluation.

Contact 602-283-2355 To learn more about National Hair Loss visit: www.nationalhairlossassoc.com.

Q: What advancements have been made in male hair loss treatment?

SM: It’s important to know there are more options than a hair transplant, medication, or creams. At National Hair Loss we pride ourselves on evolving our treatments with the latest science and technology. Our prevention treatments allow men to be proactive as they start to notice hair loss, thinning, or receding hairlines.

Prevention treatments are effective in stopping genetic hair loss and working on a cellular level to rejuvenate hair follicles.

Q: How do you know which hair loss treatment is best for you?

SM: It’s important to know there are more options than a hair transplant, medication, or creams. National Hair Loss uses the advanced treatments to work on a cellular level to rejuvenate hair follicles. I find the biggest value of working with Carly Klein and National Hair Loss is always leading with education for the best interest of each patient. I believe that with education you’ll find more effective treatments.

Q: What advice do you have for men with hair loss?

SM: I believe men do care about their hair loss but have lost faith there are proven methods to help. My goal is to provide men with insight and proper resources to learn more about their hair loss and treatment options. Hair restoration isn’t your only option, be proactive and stop your hair loss at the first sign.

Experts in MonaLisa Touch News Update: The MonaLisa Touch has now been FDA approved in the U.S. for over 2 years and at Arizona Women’s Care more than 1000 procedures have brought amazing results to women across the Southwest region. This amazing NON HORMONAL treatment for vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, frequent bladder or vaginal infections and other symptoms that result from a lack of estrogen has revolutionized our success in treating these disheartening issues.

In a recent Stanford University study, reductions in dryness and painful intercourse were especially marked, dropping an average of 75% and 66% respectively. As Lindsay (age 56) states, “I was skeptical, but I needed to try something. After the 3 treatments, intercourse was so much better I could not believe it. I actually asked my husband if we could do it again, and he was shocked! It has made such a difference in our relationship.”

The MonaLisa Touch uses fractional CO2 laser therapy

to regenerate collagen and rid the vaginal mucosa of the dry atrophic cells. Three simple treatments in the office 6 weeks apart have shown incredible improvements in vaginal atrophy.

These treatments take about 5 minutes and are virtually painfree, no anesthesia is needed.

As women caring for women, our expertise and customer service are unsurpassed in the valley. Our staff of all-female physicians were the 1st board certified OB/GYNS in the state of Arizona to perform the MonaLisa Touch procedure. We welcome you to any of our open house seminars to learn more about the MonaLisa Touch! You will have the opportunity to meet with the doctors and talk with the patients who have had this life changing procedure.

One last testimonial from Rhonda (age 61) sums up why we do what we do, “Thank you Arizona Women’s Care for offering me the MonaLisa Touch! It is an amazing treatment. I am 100% back to feeling like I did 20 years ago!”

Who went where and what happened

138 NEW IN TOWN Mowry & Cotton

YES - If you have owned gold, silver bullion or bullion type coins over the past decade. You have seen very decent gains in value.

NO - If you purchased so called “rare coins” such as modern high grade coins or even older US coins such as Morgan Dollars, $20 St Gaudens or Liberty Head coins. Unfortunately, you probably paid way too much as these semi rare coins/ common coins that have lost significant value.

TIPS FOR MORE THANKFUL INVESTING IN THE FUTURE GOLD AND SILVER HAVE BEEN PURCHASED AS A HEDGE AGAINST PAPER BASED INVESTMENTS FOR DECADES. TYPICALLY WHEN THE DOLLAR GETS WEAK THE PRECIOUS METALS GET STRONG. DOES THIS STRATEGY STILL MAKE SENSE? A: Yes, it still makes sense to put a portion of your investment dollars into precious metals. Gold has been used as real money for thousands of years and will continue to be valued as currencies are dangerously manipulated by Central Banks.

Consumers often think they are buying into the gold and silver market and end up with collectable coins.

The biggest reason brokers love selling semi rare coins such as old silver dollars or older gold coins minted prior to 1933 is that the mark up is

NICK GROVICH

Owner & President

BBB A+ rated ICTA PNG #553 NGC ANA Life Member 5211

10 to 20 times higher. The broker makes a great commission and the investor ends up with coins worth much less than they paid. Many of the most commonly sold collector coins have lost value over the past 20 years… adding insult to injury!

ARE YOU HOLDING THE RIGHT TYPE OF GOLD AND/OR SILVER? A: This is a really important question!

I realize that many investors simply take the recommendation of a dealer or broker they assume has their best interest at heart.. However, a large number of people I meet have been sold coins for as much as five times their intrinsic gold value. This is OK if you goal is merely to own really rare coins. But it is disastrous, if a person believes they are actually in the gold or silver market.

Trusted for over 35 years

The best option if you already own coins is to schedule a COMPLIMENTARY PORTFOLIO REVIEW with a professional broker from American Federal Rare Coin & Bullion. You will be advised what the true current value of you investments are and if you are positioned to meet your goals.

You can also call and request a copy of my book The Big Lies an Absolute Truths, which explains how these markets work and the pitfalls to beware of. Mention So Scottsdale and we will ship free of charge as my gift to you. You may also call 480-553-5282 or email my directly at

It’s hard to believe that November is upon us. As we enter the season of indulgence, we want to make sure you’re well-equipped for the task. That’s why we’ve included some Thanksgiving-themed drinks to prime you for the big the meal (page 120), a scotch tasting series (page 68), and if you’re feeling fancy, a round-up of high tea experiences, including a brand-new “tipsy tea party” (page 82). We even got the lowdown on a trial of exclusive Belvedere vodka that’s only launching at select venues in three locales, with Arizona being one of them (page 84).

As for indulgences of the sophisticated variety, our feature highlights hot spots – from sports bars to wine lounges – that favor those 40-plus, or, perhaps, any of-age reveler with more discerning taste (page 88).

Of course, with the weather beckoning for patio time, we couldn’t leave out those who want to indulge with their furry friend – check out page 124 for the 411 on the Valley’s best pup-friendly patios. In other outdoor news, there’s a plein air painting class (and more art-focused endeavors – Monet and mimosas, anyone?) at The Hermosa Inn (page 70).

Look the part in autumn attire spanning all things plaid (page 98), quintessentially fall (page 100), or edgy-yet-elegant for him and her (page 102).

With this month’s flurry of activity, don’t forget to carve out time for some selfcare with luxe bath products meant to soothe your senses (page 97).

Finally, we are spotlighting this year’s real estate superstars (page 53), and our cover follows suit with SimonCRE’s founder and CEO, Joshua Simon, who shares his commercial development know-how as well as his commitment to giving back (page 48).

After all, beyond all the decadence, festivals, soirees and holiday prep, at the heart of this month, it really comes down to something very simple: giving.

FIELD OF DREAMS

Former MLB pitcher Chris Gruler on finding himself and building something even greater

When Chris Gruler walks into the room, heads seem to turn.

He still has the body of an athlete, an air of confidence seems to surround him, and his laugh is good-natured and warm. It’s this affable personality that makes him a natural host on camera and well-liked by his clients. What many don’t know is that Gruler

rose from the ashes of another man, a younger self that thought he had his whole life planned out.

In 2002, Gruler was selected in the first round of the MLB draft by the Cincinnati Reds. Plucked directly from his senior year in high school as a starting pitcher, Gruler’s dream of the big

I began to feel sorry for myself, and I thought everyone was out to get me. It took me a while to find out who I was and what that person meant to me.”

Beyond Baseball

leagues had arrived.

“It was a dream come true to say the least,” Gruler says. “My favorite experience was pitching in front of a crowd of 15,000 people and seeing my parents so proud of me. I could even hear my Pops coaching me from his seat. It made me think back to Little League and all the support my family had put into this dream.”

But Gruler’s career didn’t evolve quite as he planned. The Reds were making a big push for a lot of the new high draft picks that year, fast-tracking them through the system and into the big leagues. Gruler’s arm simply could not keep up with the demand, and he ended his career after the first of his three shoulder surgeries, over the course of seven years.

“It was an extremely dark time for me,” Gruler says. “When

Gruler used journaling to work through his feelings and to re-establish his identity outside of baseball. Not used to a typical 9-to-5 job, Gruler sought to launch his own business, one that provided him an endless variety of experiences and the ability to help people and solve problems. With that, Protégé Branding was born.

Protégé is Gruler’s self-described storytelling and branding company. Focused on garnering attention for athletes, influencers and businesses, its services range from full-scale creative branding and cinematography to marketing and development.

Gruler had found a sweet spot; not only could he help grow brands but he could use his natural skillset to push businesses forward. Even Gruler’s friends admit he’s the guy you want by your side, noting he’s the person who will have your back no matter what, as well as someone you can always count on for a pep talk or a well-made Old-Fashioned.

But Gruler was not quite done exploring this new side of himself. His love of food led to the realization that although the restaurant scene in Scottsdale was unique, it wasn’t getting the national acclaim it deserved. He then launched another brand: www.scottsdalerestaurants.com.

“The website was founded by myself and two of my good friends. Miguel is our lead cinematographer, Troy is our lead content writer, and I guess I’m the on-screen talent,” Gruler laughs.

“There are quite a few restaurants here that are taking risks and doing some awesome things. Our goal is to shine a spotlight on them and really put Scottsdale on the map.”

Gruler and his team are set to film at their 100th restaurant location this month. Along with the other perks of the website, they also offer a VIP newsletter where they routinely give away gift cards from restaurants to their followers.

Thrilled by this collaboration, Gruler continued to seek other projects. In January 2016, after partnering with his brother-in-law, Gruler launched Jubi, a stress relief and mental focus nootropic shot (meaning it enhances cognition and memory and facilitates learning). Now in more than 5,000 stores nationwide, it is a drink tailored to anyone who needs a little extra focus or motivation.

From a man who felt like he had lost everything to growing an empire of businesses, Gruler certainly has come a long way in finding himself. With his dark days behind him, he admits he wouldn’t be where he is without them.

“I look back and I honestly can’t say I’d take back a single thing of the last 10 years,” Gruler says. “They were hard, but sometimes it’s the hard times that make the man. I feel like we are just getting started. All three companies are growing, and I look forward to seeing where we can take them. On a personal level, I got married last year, so I’m hoping kids are in my future, and I am excited to see where Chris Gruler will be in another 10 years.”

Who Did Your Hair?

SCOTTSDALE’S HAIR COLOR GURU, ROD GENTRY, IS THE GO-TO EXPERT FOR COLORING YOUR TRESSES

HAIR COLOR IS TRICKY. Ensuring the perfect shade, finishing the process with hair that is still healthy, creating the perfect look—there are not many who can do it all or who are known as the go-to expert in color.

But now Scottsdale has a color guru.

Rod Gentry, one of the industry’s color experts, has relocated from Chicago— where he spent 24 years working in the field—to Scottsdale.

His clients know four main things about Rod: They’ll receive undivided, personalized attention at their appointment (no double booking!); he’ll use only the top and best products to ensure their hair stays healthy; his wealth of knowledge and expertise will allow them to achieve the look they want; and that the color will be perfect, every time.

Rod approaches hair color differently than others, first working with a client to determine the look they want, and then taking into account the client’s complexion and lifestyle to make sure that the end result will be something that is both flattering and workable.

One of his main focuses is always on the health of the hair, and so he uses only highend, enzyme-based developers (rather than peroxide-based ones) so that hair is left in a better condition, and extremely shiny. He also always finishes a color process with a conditioning treatment as part of the color service.

“You can have long hair and great color, but if it’s damaged, it won’t look as good,” he explains.

HIS WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE WILL ALLOW THEM TO ACHIEVE THE LOOK THEY WANT; AND THAT THE COLOR WILL BE PERFECT, EVERY TIME. He relentlessly pursues education to stay at the top of his field, traveling worldwide to learn about the newest innovative techniques, products and knowledge, training in such places as London and New York.

“I really think that education is the key to success,” he explains.

Rod’s services include single process color, highlights, color gloss, color paneling, ombre, extended conditioning, color correction, color removal and more, as well as cutting-edge haircuts.

“I guarantee my work. Period,” he says.

TREASURE HUNTING

To Be Continued co-owner Chrissy Sayare shares her love of fashion and debuts a new boutique

BY BRITTANY MARONEY / PHOTO BY CLAUDIA JOHNSTONE

Chrissy Sayare believes that every great couture piece deserves a second chance, and that amazing pieces can be found in the most unlikely places.

Though, one likely place to find them is her boutique consignment shop, To Be Continued (www.tbcconsignment.com). Tucked among its racks are unique luxury goods that make a statement.

“I was always attracted to luxury fabrics, statement buttons, rich leather in shoes, and old boucle jackets with fox fur around the collar,” Sayare says. “I would hunt for these pieces everywhere, until the day I realized I wasn’t the only one. These items were in demand and deserved a second chance.”

After spending most of her adult life in Boston and Paris, Sayare – along with her husband and business partner, Mitch – moved to Paradise Valley in 2012.

Inspired by the well-heeled women of Scottsdale and eager to merge her love of fashion and their entrepreneurial backgrounds, Sayare set out to create a one-ofa-kind experience in luxury consignment shopping.

Since opening in Scottsdale in January 2014, Sayare has established a loyal following of fashionistas who love to consign and shop the store’s coveted designer clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories.

“I have a large network of international clients that I’ve cultivated. I’ll be going to Paris, New York and Dubai this fall to go through some truly extraordinary closets for merchandise,” Sayare says. “The incredible thing about our pieces is a lot of them come from some of the most fashionable women in Scottsdale, who also happen to be customers.”

Sayare is now expanding her empire to another location, TBC2, which will be two doors down from her flagship boutique in Hilton Village. A bit sassier, the new concept is focused on younger clientele. TBC2 will offer additional discounts on already discounted designer merchandise along with more contemporary brands like Tory Burch, Elizabeth and James, and Isabel Marant.

Sayare’s mantra for her boutiques is one she also lives by: “Dress for the life you want to live, take some risks, think outside the box, have the courage to be different, and buy it when you see it.”

A TRUE VISIONARY

Peter “Gold” Ezugwu pays it forward by helping people put their dreams into action

BY GRETCHEN PAHIA / PHOTO BY JAMES PATRICK

Motivation and success are two words that clearly describe businessman and former professional basketball star Peter “Gold” Ezugwu. After creating the youth athletic organization Future Stars International in 2010, Ezugwu then turned his focus from athletics to business empowerment by joining forces with a team of like-minded individuals to found PowerVision (www.powervisionteam.com).

Regardless of where someone is on their entrepreneurial journey, PowerVision helps people define what they want to do and how they’re going to do it. Rooted in community building and support, PowerVision seeks to help individuals and organizations achieve their fullest potential.

“We believe that everything starts with purpose, and that success starts with doing for others first – pay it forward,” Ezugwu says. “PowerVision’s entire leadership team has always been actively involved in volunteer leadership and models this continually.”

As the CEO and managing partner, Ezugwu says his goals behind PowerVision are multi-faceted, making sure everyone has the opportunity to prosper and grow.

“I believe that with systems, focus and discipline, entrepreneurs can take their vision for a business and make it a success,” he says. “I am passionate about helping people move into action and creating something they can grow.”

Currently, Ezugwu and PowerVision are working with a number of clients across varying industries Valley-wide, including several in Scottsdale. Ezugwu says there is no end to the number of people PowerVision will help.

“My vision is to help thousands of leaders move past their ‘stuck zones’ and create sustainable, scalable organizations.”

Ezugwu is no stranger to leading the charge and creating innovative ideas that drive and teach those around him. As a former professional athlete, he has been able to translate his achievements on the court into corporate America. In the near decade since entering the business world, Ezugwu has established himself as a successful entrepreneur, leading multiple companies and entrepreneurs to success, and ultimately helping others live their dreams of starting a business or growing one they already have.

FROM THE GROUND UP Steve Martori III’s sophisticated wardrobe lives up to the family name

BY EMILY GLYNN / PHOTO BY CLAUDIA JOHNSTONE

In the case of Steve Martori III, the fourth-generation president of local family-owned produce company Martori Farms, less is most definitely more.

“Since my days aren’t predictable, I try to maintain a simple and functional wardrobe,” he says, alluding to a penchant for contemporary brands like AG, Theory, and rag & bone. “When I started this role, I found it enticing that I could modernize an already successful business model and [never] have the same day twice.”

Despite having a dynamic schedule that includes jetting clients to the company’s fruitful farms, the licensed pilot recently adopted a minimalistic mindset, pruning his closet of frivolous pieces that don’t encapsulate his clean-cut entrepreneurial spirit.

“I’ve gotten my wardrobe down to about four different colors now,” says Martori, who cites white, black, gray and navy among his favorite hues. “It’s more practical for me, and I like the philosophy behind having a personal uniform.”

Which trait do you admire most in yourself? My ability to adapt to my surroundings. I can assess what it is I need to do to be most successful while remaining authentic and honest.

What items do you gravitate toward when shopping? I gravitate toward jeans, well-fitting shirts and clean colors. Very simple and classic pieces.

What would we be surprised to find in your closet? I’m a pretty simple guy, but if you look inside my closet you’d be surprised to find a bunch of jeans next to a tailored Tom Ford tuxedo. I’m simple, but I’m not boring.

Fashion in the operating room is about as sterile as it comes. Just ask Dee Siverhus, co-founder of Contour You (www.contouryou.com), a premier body contouring medical spa in North Scottsdale.

“If you can dress up scrubs, you’re proficient in dressing up any outfit,” she jokes. “You’ll never catch me without a pair of wild shoes and loud statement jewelry when I’m in uniform.”

Siverhus may be dedicated to helping her clients gain confidence through non-invasive procedures, but the registered nurse doesn’t overlook the potential of bright colors and luxurious fabrics when it comes to feeling good in one’s own skin. For the avid golfer, brands like Tail Activewear and Jamie Sadock help her do just this, striking the perfect balance between comfort and style.

Off the green, her ensembles take a sultry turn. “I can’t resist pairing Miss Me denim with Lucchese hair-on-hide boots, a matching belt, and some turquoise jewelry,” Siverhus says. “I guess you could say I’ve learned to embrace the Southwestern style!”

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job? When our patients call me to let me know how happy they are with their results, even before their next visit.

Where is your favorite spot to unwind after a long week of procedures? I can usually be talked into a beer and a game of cornhole at The Vig. How has your style evolved over the years? I try to dress age-appropriate, which now includes lots of sun protection! I tend to wear more long sleeves, SPF clothing, and hats than I’ve ever worn before.

A N E W B R E E D O F B U I L D E R Commercial development mogul Joshua Simon shares his secrets for prosperity and philanthropy

BY BRITTANY MARONEY PHOTOS BY CLAUDIA JOHNSTONE

So Scottsdale! November ‘17

It’s 5 a.m. and the sun will not rise for another hour. The street lamps are on, the roadways are clear, and most of the city is still tucked in bed. Up in an office building, a single light is on. Joshua Simon, founder and CEO of SimonCRE, has already been up for hours. It’s that energy, enthusiasm and ambitious nature that has taken the young 32-year-old straight to the top of his industry and built him an empire in commercial development.

Founded in 2010, SimonCRE is a full-service commercial real estate developer. The company seeks to redefine the commercial real estate development industry using impeccable service and superior technology to assist clients, and its leader is trailblazing that mission. Simon wanted to build a company that was unique, willing to adapt, and left a lasting impact on the communities it served. That meant living and breathing the core values that have been so fundamental to Simon since he was young.

Raised with the Midwestern belief that the only way to make it through life was hard work, Simon, who grew up in Chicago, would launch a series of businesses from the time he was five.

One day it was yard work, the next it was babysitting and then plowing driveways. Simon would wake early and retire late from a day of work well done.

“My mom always said I was born an entrepreneur, and I suppose that is true,” Simon says. “But, for me, it was about gaining experiences. I wasn’t working to make money; I was hustling because it was natural to me. It allowed me to meet people, instilled in me a value system, and it taught me about integrity.”

At the age of 12, Simon and his family moved to Phoenix. His first real job was at In-N-Out Burger, where he quickly climbed the ranks to manager. The position left him thrilled with the responsibility and empowered by the feeling of success. It would also keep him in Phoenix, where he chose to attend Arizona State University.

“I got a degree in communication, but, more so, college introduced me to real estate,” Simon says. “During my freshman year, I was awarded an internship at a prestigious local commercial real estate developer. By 19, I was traveling the country and had closed over 20 million dollars in deals. It also made me realize that development was more than pushing dirt around. It was about building communities, affording businesses opportunity, creating

I W A S N ’ T W O R K I N G T O M A K E M O N E Y ; I WA S H U S T L I N G B E C A U S E I T WA S N A T U R A L T O M E . I T A L L O W E D M E T O M E E T P E O P L E , I N S T I L L E D I N M E A VA L U E S Y S T E M , A N D I T T A U G H T M E A B O U T I N T E G R I T Y. ”

hundreds of jobs, and, ultimately, it’s about helping people.”

Inspired by the work he was doing, Simon yearned for a business of his own. The problem was Simon had no investment capital, and, in 2010, the market was still in shambles. It would take a leap of faith to launch his organization, or, in Simon’s instance, a lot of hard work.

“If there was a time to fail, it was then,” Simon laughs.

BUILDING A LEGACY Simon immediately did what he does best – he used his time wisely and began building his business. He started making phone calls to associates, and he took a high-percentage business loan to buy his first property. He also began to make a name for himself with contractors, property owners and competitors.

“I was 25 years old, had no money in my pocket, and just my reputation to lean on,” Simon says. “In this business, it’s all about trust, and, like any relationship, that takes time to build. So, my strategy was to keep my head high, my integrity higher, and my nose to the grindstone. After a while, the contractors started answering my calls and deals started to be made. I was finally sitting at the table.”

SimonCRE went from two employees to 20, and, most recently, the organization closed on their 100th property. To date, SimonCRE has completed about 90 projects in 18 states, and this year, the company will do $100 million in development. But even at the start of this success, the energetic entrepreneur wasn’t ready to slow down.

In 2010, while managing his growing organization, Simon also founded a hosted Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) company called One Stop Voice, which specialized in business communications. After almost four years, Simon sold it to a publicly traded company to focus on the tremendous growth SimonCRE was experiencing.

“It’s important to remember that if you try to do everything, you can’t be great at anything,” Simon says. “I was spreading myself too thin and knew it. I had to remind myself that, at some point, I had to start enjoying success. That didn’t mean slowing down; it meant finding pleasures in things other than work. It meant re-energizing every once in a while.”

Simon now balances his long work days with trips around the country and the world. An avid sports fan, he often takes private jets to ASU games, enjoying the cities in which the team plays.

He also spends time in Aspen, particularly escaping to Colorado’s great outdoors.

Another way that Simon refreshes from the strain of dayto-day decision-making is through philanthropy. Lately, he has focused his efforts on supporting The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a bipartisan organization of U.S. citizens committed to strengthening, protecting and promoting the U.S.-Israel relationship. He often contributes resources to Goodwill, as well as staying deeply involved in ASU’s athletic and education programs.

“I was welcomed into this industry through an internship program, and I wanted to do the same for other young entrepreneurs,” Simon says. “SimonCRE runs an incredible internship program for ASU students interested in learning more about commercial real estate. These young adults are not filing papers. They are actively on the phone, making deals and experiencing the business. The thought that this program could mentor them to success is a powerful thing.”

Simon admits that learning from others is a cornerstone of why he’s gained success at such a young age. In fact, he would often join boards and attend leadership summits to find his next mentor. Currently, he is the state government relations chair for the

International Council of Shopping Centers; co-chair of the Four Corners Idea Exchange; and a member of Urban Land Institute, Aspen Institute, Entrepreneurs’ Organization, Young Presidents’ Organization, The Aji Network, and ASU’s Sun Devil Club and President’s Club. Through these endeavors, he networks and cultivates connections among competitors and business leaders alike.

“It is so incredibly important to build a network of thought leaders around yourself. Never be afraid to talk to the competition, question them relentlessly, and discover new answers to age-old problems,” Simon says. “Too many people go into business seeking wealth, when what they should be doing is seeking passion. I have a new mentor almost every year, and I have learned so much from each of them, but they all have one thing in common: passion. So, I urge others to also find that for themselves. I certainly have.”

THE EDUCATED EXPERT

Allison Cahill & Partners Luxury Properties at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Arizona Properties As a young child, Allison Cahill’s earliest memories were of being buckled into the backseat of her father’s car looking at large parcels of land, on the outskirts of the city. She was raised in land acquisition and at a very young age was taught the value of buying real estate. Those early experiences are fond memories for the woman who would take a curvy path, to eventually follow in her father’s footsteps.

Cahill first chose to pursue education. She got her Masters in Educational Instruction and taught French for seven years, until she could save enough money for law school. She soon became a high powered corporate attorney in Chicago, with a focus on Asset Protection and Estate Planning.

“Everyone always asks me why I chose to give up my law profession because I obviously loved it, but that answer is simple. For my children. I could not stand leaving every day and not seeing them again until bedtime. My biggest accomplishment has been raising those two amazing children. Now, if I could only be as successful at raising my 6-month old puppy,” laughs Cahill.

Cahill now uses that legal experience to aid her loyal group of clients and her agency. Known for her seriousness on the job but also for her light heartedness, behind the scenes. Specializing in the unique neighborhoods of North Scottsdale’s luxury market, Cahill is well recognized for her adept ability to find the perfect property and ensure her clients get strong returns on their investments. She also holds three designations as an Accredited Buyer Representative, Seller Representative Specialist, and Designated Luxury Specialist.

While she’s a pitbull at the negotiation table, she does have a weakness for philanthropy. The Phoenix Children’s Hospital is particularly near and dear to her heart, as she is currently a member of the Leadership Circle for the Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation.

As part of this select group, she is involved in selecting where grant money will go within the hospital’s research and development.

“This community and my role in it are incredible important to me,” says Cahill. “I take agency law very seriously and I use it to look out for my client’s best interests. There are a lot of pitfalls in real estate and I work hard to protect my clients and keep them on the path of realizing their goals and dreams.”

PAR FOR THE COURSE

Lisa Westcott-Wadey with Russ Lyon Sotherby’s International Realty If Lisa Westcott-Wadey has two passions it would be golf and real estate. A natural athlete, her father was a professional golfer who introduced her to the sport. Now she says it’s just simply in her blood. She has since melded this love into connecting with buyers and sellers for luxury properties, in the Scottsdale area.

“There is no better way to connect with a client then during eighteen holes of golf,” says Westcott-Wadey. “You discover who they are, what they are searching for and I think it helps build trust.

Like any relationship, it takes time to establish trust. I really believe that building confidence with a client creates a foundation, and it keeps them coming back for their next perfect home.”

And come back they do. Over ninety-five percent of WestcottWadey’s clientele are repeat or referred business, much of them seeking coveted private properties and golf communities. It’s the perfect blend of her two loves.

“While I have worked with luxury properties across all price points and regions, I definitely specialize in certain areas. I like to believe that my extensive background in luxury and golf course properties, affords my clients the opportunity to find the right community for them,” says Westcott-Wadey. “One of the best feelings I have as a professional is when they step into that perfect home and just simply smile. I understand that this is one of my client’s biggest investments and it’s my responsibility to represent them through a smooth transaction. It’s my hole in one.”

Her clients would readily admit she is a pro, on and off the course. Westcott has been designated as the #1 Realtor at Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty for 2014 and to this day remains in the top 5. She also was named Top 10 Producer in Homes and Land Magazine and is in the top 1% of Realtors in all of Arizona. She also is on the Carefund Board of Directors, the Honor Health Advisory Board, a SAAR Professional Committee Chair and is a RAPAC Major Investor.

Since 2002, she had been dedicated to her clients, to her community and a leader in her industry. They say when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life but it’s hard work that has put Lisa Westcott at the top of this industry.

FOR FAMILY AND PHILANTHROPY Christine Espinoza with RE/MAX Fine Properties

Christine Espinoza knows a house is more than a home. It’s the place you raise your children, it’s every holiday, every special moment and it’s the place where you can escape the world around you. Every neighborhood is a community, one that welcomes you.

She knows these things because she was taught it from a young age, by her real estate broker father and that is how she is raising her two boys.

Espinoza’s father had been in real estate since before she was born. Originally from Ohio, she moved to Arizona at the age of six and attended the University of Arizona. After graduation, she got her real estate license and worked by her father’s side, jumping on the fast track to learn the industry. It truly was a family run business. Now, with RE/MAX Fine Properties Espinoza is celebrating her 21st year in real estate.

“My favorite part of this career is not only meeting new and interesting people daily, but being able to help them with one of the largest financial decisions of their lives. I build relationships with my clients that extend well beyond the sale of their home. I enjoy being my clients’ friend and go to person if they need a referral for anything.”

Espinoza’s career affords her the opportunity to enjoy her own family, something that has always been incredibly important to her.

“My boys, Dominic and Brody are actively involved in their schools and play sports, so pretty much every weekend when I’m not with a client, I’m on a field or a court watching their games,” says Espinoza. “I think my clients appreciate the fact that I understand they have busy lives, because I do too. Knowing the market and the industry saves my client time and hassle, making their transactions as smooth as possible, so they can concentrate on their lives and families.”

Espinoza also supports the community and her boys are not afraid to pitch in. “I started a nonprofit women’s group in 2012 called Platform Scottsdale. We host social events for women, giving them the opportunity to connect, as well as bringing awareness to various charities in our area,” says Espinoza. “I take my boys every month to feed the homeless in Phoenix, and we set up collection stations for hygiene products and sneakers for the people in need in our community.”

AN EYE FOR HOMES

Joanie Barreiro with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Joanie Barreiro has been infatuated with architecture and design since she was a small child. Growing up in Pennsylvania, she loved the historical buildings, the sloping roofs and the hidden cubby holes of those two story homes. She loved how building materials could change the look of the house, how a slight tweak in the design plans could change a space and how each house could be as unique as a footprint. She loved homes and so it just made sense to go into a career where showing them made her a living.

“I remember as a child flipping through a table book and stopping on a picture of Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Falling Water House”, says Barreiro. “It was like nothing I had seen before and I wanted more. I fell in love with houses that day and I still love touring everything from high-end custom homes, to the unique floor plans in Arcadia.”

Barreiro doesn’t play favorites with her love of construction and design. Some her favorite builders run the gamut of contemporary to historical, industrial to territorial, and everything in between. She loves showcasing the sleek patios of Optima Camelback, as much as the views from the top of Desert Mountain.

While she mostly caters to luxury homes in Desert Mountain, North Scottsdale, Silverleaf, Cave Creek, Carefree, Paradise Valley and Arcadia, she is always open to representing buyers wherever their heart takes them. What’s important to her is that her clients find the home of their dreams. She knows how important that is.

“I move a lot because I love the sense of finding that new perfect fit. I think you evolve as your life changes and it makes sense to find the new home to fit the new you,” says Barreiro. “I understand that desire and in turn can help other home buyers find what they need. I think it’s important to have a realtor that is enthusiastic, committed and interested in taking the time to find that perfect home. I’d like to think I am all of those things.”

Her clients would agree. While she previously spent nine years as part of a team, in 2014 she took the leap to go on her own. She has since been awarded as Russ Lyon’s Elite top 1% Agents in Arizona 2016 and Phoenix Business Journal #19 Agent for Phoenix 2016, and one of the North Valley’s Top Agents, proving her love of great homes pays off. She truly is proof that childhood passion can result in a lifetime of career success.

THE LOCAL & RELOCATION STAR Jane Blacker with Russ Lyon Realty

She’s lived in Hong Kong, London, Malaysia, Korea and the Philippines. She’s toured Asia’s beautiful high rises and showcased some of the world’s most gorgeous ocean side beach houses. From foggy London flats to peaked hanok’s in Seoul, she has seen and shown them all. When you have that kind of international experience, it’s nice to finally put down roots and Jane Blacker found the perfect place in Scottsdale, Arizona. And she’s been proud to do it.

“Being a realtor gives me an opportunity to be a promoter of this amazing city, as I help people get to know the area,” explains Blacker. “I’m a people person and have a very personal approach.

Whether they are local and looking for their next home or from around the world and seeking to settle, I can help them find the perfect property. It’s just what I love to do.”

Jane got her start in real estate when she was living in Hong Kong. Approached by a local company, she found it was a natural fit for her outgoing and vivacious personality. She soon became a proud owner of her own company, Victoria Properties and grew the organization to over forty employees.

Now based in Arizona, Blacker works as a member of the Russ Lyon relocation team, specializing in helping families from across the country and world, relocate to the desert. She also is an extremely active member in the community.

“My main hobby is giving back to this amazing community.

I love to try new restaurants, go to movies, network through my community involvement,” says Blacker.

Blacker currently serves on the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce and on the Board of Directors of Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale where she is a member of the fundraising committee. She also is an active member of the Alumni Events Committee for Scottsdale Leadership and serves on Russ Lyon’s VCorps Foundation.

While her international experience gives her an advantage in understanding a person’s home buying needs, it’s her thirty-three years in the industry that truly makes her an expert.

“What I’ve heard from my clients is that they appreciate my in-depth knowledge about Scottsdale, my professionalism, and my high energy in working hard on their behalf,” says Blacker. “I enjoy getting to know each one of them and having the satisfaction of finding the home of their dreams.”

KEEPING IT REAL

Linda Salkow with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Arizona Properties Linda Salkow keeps it real. She’s not the type to show up to a listing in impractical sky high heels or pretend she is someone she’s not. She considers herself kind of shy, but knows how to turn it on when she enters a room. It’s this realness that keeps her clients coming back for more. It’s why her home buyers later become her home sellers.

“I’ll be honest. I became a realtor out of necessity when I moved to Scottsdale from New Jersey, in 1996,” says Salkow.

“When I arrived, I was not ready to retire, I still wanted to be out there involved in the community. Going into real estate was the logical choice and looking back, I can’t imagine doing anything else. “ It’s a decision that is a perfect fit. Not only do clients love her easy going nature and listening style, but she also has gained the respect of being very knowledgeable about real estate market conditions, particularly in North Scottsdale and Desert Mountain.

Here she has cultivated a unique clientele of CEO’s, CFO’s, business leaders and every so often, a celebrity. They are a clientele that knows what they want and Linda aims to please.

“One day a new client contacted me through my website. He gave me his name and as we chatted, I couldn’t figure out why it was so familiar,” says Salkow. “After I hung up, I googled him. What showed up truly was a surprise because he had told me his name was Dan Whitney. But if you google that name it is “Larry the Cable Guy”, the comedian. Sure enough, when I picked him and his family up at the Four Seasons hotel it really was him. He was as genuine and funny as I was hoping he would be. We hit it off right away and I sold them a house in Desert Mountain.”

Salkow still keeps in touch with “Larry the Cable Guy”, like most of her clientele. A bond forms when she helps a buyer or seller and she’s always waiting in the wings for when her expertise is needed or advice is required. She admits while she got into the business out of necessity, she stays in it out of love.

“That is what life is about,” says Salkow. “Doing a good job, being recognized for doing that and trying to enjoy every drop of this business, every moment of every day.”

A SWEET SPOT FOR SELLING Cheryl Anderson with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty

Her father taught her to always do more than was expected.

Her mother taught her that the only thing you ever own is your reputation. These two pieces of sage advice would follow Cheryl Anderson for the rest of her life and it’s what her clients love so much about her. She is tough, she is driven and they can place their trust in her.

Cheryl grew up in Los Angeles, California but moved to Phoenix in 1992 before the birth of her daughter. It was during a Gymboree class for her toddler that an unexpected opportunity would arise in real estate.

“I never could have predicted what a life changing circumstance that would turn out to be,” Anderson says. “I found this love for appreciating properties, homes with character and architectural interest. Often, my favorite homes have a history or a storied past, or offer intimacy, privacy, unique detailing and thoughtful design. I am drawn to artistic qualities in a home.”

Her enthusiasm and energy for the business quickly made her an agency favorite. Over the past twenty-two years she dove head first into the industry, gaining her CRS degree (Certified Residential Specialist), her GRI (Graduate, Realtor Institute) and becoming Chairman of Luxury Home Tour in Paradise Valley, in 1999. She also was voted Best Realtor in Paradise Valley in 2011, received the cover spot of Top Agent Magazine in 2014, is a member of Lyon’s Elite (top 1% company ranking), and received Honorable Mention in the 2017 Phoenix Business Journal as one of the top producing agents in the Valley for 2016. Much of this success comes from the one area she calls her “sweet spot”.

“There is a reason Paradise Valley is my “sweet spot” for selling homes,” says Anderson. “To me, it is like understanding a painting the brushstroke, the artist’s intention, the composition, the emotion.

I think custom homes in Paradise Valley require a certain expertise, a knowledge of quality, site lines, and nuanced details. Like people and like original art, no two Paradise Valley custom homes or view sites are exactly alike. They need to be viewed through the lense of knowledge, understanding, and experience. I find it so rewarding.”

It’s this sort of focus, dedication and reputation that keeps her clients coming back for more. Truly making Anderson one of the “sweet spots” of Paradise Valley real estate.

To contact Cheryl Anderson, CRS, call 602.312.6038 or visit www.cherylanderson.com.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIALIST Bob Lomax with Mirabel Properties

Bob Lomax knows quality. He also knows that to truly be an expert at something, you need to gain experience and become focused on what will make you successful. For the past seventeen years he has become the resident expert at Mirabel, a high end custom home development in Scottsdale.

“I think you need to specialize in some part of the industry to differentiate yourself and to truly be an expert,” says Lomax.

“Primarily focusing on one community allows me to say with complete honesty that I am the expert when it comes to real estate, in this market. I would also say that there is no substitute for the experience I afford my clients. I think the fact that I have made Scottsdale my home for 17 years, is an advantage.”

It’s also an advantage for the many residents who have chosen Mirabel as their home. Behind the guarded gates and situated on more than seven hundred acres of Sonoran Desert lies Mirabel’s exclusive community which affords three hundred and fifteen custom home sites ranging in size from two-thirds acre to over two acres. The community is truly spectacular with an awardwinning private Club lifestyle, spectacular natural beauty and panoramic views. Yet Mirabel is convenient to the many acclaimed restaurants, dining, shopping and cultural activities that have made Scottsdale one of the most sought-after destinations in the world.

“I think Mirabel is truly unique because of its members and residents,” says Lomax. “I worked for the developer originally and we spent a lot of time designing the club and community to attract a certain type of home buyer. Everyone is successful in their own field, but we wanted people who would check their egos at the door and I think we accomplished this. It is an extremely friendly community which is evident by the way everyone waves at each other as you walk or drive by. It has a real sense of community which isn’t the case in some of the other private club communities in town. And our golf course and clubhouse are second to none in the Southwest.”

It’s this passion and knowledge of his community that truly sets Bob Lomax apart. He’s doing more than just selling homes, he’s building a community and that neighborhood is called Mirabel.

To contact Bob Lomax call 480.595.2545 or visit www.mirabel.com

THE INDUSTRY EXPERT

Sue Shapiro with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Selling real estate comes naturally to Sue Shapiro, as she grew up in the valley and heard the jargon since early childhood.

Her mother Ellie Shapiro was one of the first female realtors selling luxury homes, in the Paradise Valley, Phoenix and Scottsdale areas.

“Every Sunday, for as long as I can remember, my mom sat open houses on Sunday’s,” says Shapiro. “She often would bring new clients, she had just met, home for dinner. I grew up learning that real estate was more of a lifestyle, than a traditional job. My sister Karen Shapiro, is also a Realtor” Shapiro has loved the industry ever since. She enjoys meeting and working with people from various backgrounds and different parts of the world, while her clients love her straightforward honesty.

There are many moving parts to a real estate transaction and she believes it takes skill, communication, expertise and lots of patience to list, sell and get a transaction to and through the closing process. “You have to be fully committed to be successful in real estate,” says Shapiro.

Shapiro has proven she’s more than committed. She has been a top producer in real estate and award winner year after year, since 1984. Last year, she was in Russ Lyon Sotheby’s top 5%. She specializes in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Phoenix areas.

Shapiro enjoys keeping up with market trends and technology. In addition, Russ Lyon Sotheby’s provides her with the most current tools and marketing materials to keep her ahead of the competition.

“It’s important to know the current values in the areas you serve, it’s not just price per square foot in luxury real estate,” says Shapiro. “Each property is unique and the land value, location and many other factors can influence the market value.”

Shapiro stays incredibly busy with her dedicated client base, but she also carves out the time to go to her kid’s soccer and basketball games. She is the official school sponsor of Scottsdale’s Cheyenne Traditional School and often attends various charity events, including animal and children causes. She also often collaborates with her husband Robert Lyle, a loan officer with Equitable Home Mortgage in Scottsdale, ensuring real estate continues to be an ongoing discussion topic, in her home.

A FOCUS ON PEOPLE

Mike Domer with RE/MAX Excalibur Mike Domer is a man who truly enjoys helping people. It’s why he got into real estate and also why he is so incredibly successful. He has a unique view on the industry and is passionate about sharing it.

“I don’t focus on properties; I focus on people and satisfying their needs,” says Domer. “Real estate is a relationship business. I market and sell homes from $200,000 to over $10 Million. I give each of my clients the same quality service regardless of the price of the property they are buying or selling.” He must be a hit with his clients, after all, in 2016 Mike was the number one ranked RE/ MAX agent in Arizona and the entire Southwest region of the U.S..

Mike also understands the pitfalls some buyers and sellers can make in the process. “The biggest mistake I’ve seen people make is working with an inexperienced agent, says Domer. “Any agent can show a property but few have the ability to move buyers to a decision or to negotiate excellent terms on behalf of their clients. It takes a seasoned professional to make that happen and it’s one of my favorite parts about the business.”

Domer has also given back to his peers by sharing his innovative approach to marketing real estate in his seminars throughout the United States and Canada. He has personally trained over a million real estate agents in over 250 different cities and has been a repeat featured speaker at the National Association of Realtors Conventions. Real estate agents have purchased over $20 million worth of Mike’s books and training materials.

“When I began my speaking career only sellers were represented by residential real estate agents. Buyers had no one working on their behalf,” says Domer. “The selling agent was obligated to get the best price and terms for the seller, not the buyer he or she was working with. I took a controversial stand against this practice and actively promoted and taught buyer representation.

I am proud that I had a big part in the fact that today buyers, as well as sellers, have an agent representing them in real estate transactions.”

Even off the clock, Domer continues to serve the people of his community. Among leading a weekly bible study, the Domer Family Foundation focuses on feeding and clothing the homeless and destitute. as well as giving to other worthwhile causes. A man of integrity, charity and expertise, Domer is truly a real estate broker to depend on.

LIVE & LOCAL Get ready to rock your culinary world

This year, the fifth annual Live & Local, presented by GoDaddy, has a new home – and so much more.

Now being hosted at Desert Ridge Marketplace, this annual culinary spectacular aims to bring the food and music scenes together for one very big night guaranteed to feed both one’s soul and stomach – as well as help local Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale youth.

“This event is our biggest of the fall, meant to raise critical funds to help us provide a safe place, caring adult mentors, fun, friendship, athletics, and high-impact youth development programs during nonschool hours throughout greater Scottsdale as well as on neighboring Native American lands,” says Mike Baer, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale board member and Live & Local committee member.

Among the rock star restaurants signed on to play their culinary hits for guests are The Capital Grille, Postino WineCafe, Chart House, Tryst Café, The Thumb and Taste of New Mexico, thanks in great part to a full partnership with the Arizona Restaurant Association. In addition, Bitter & Twisted – recently recognized as having one of the top 10 cocktail menus in the world – will be on hand to mix up the newest and coolest cocktails on the market, as well as pair them with their housemade high-spirited cupcakes, each infused with actual spirits and liqueurs.

“Guests can also expect a blind wine pull where they can try their luck for just $25 per bottle for varietals worth up to $200 – as well as a Don Julio Tequila experience, a beer garden and several wine-tasting stations, courtesy of Young’s Market, Breakthru Beverage and Crescent Crown,” Baer says.

Throughout the event, several live acts will also take the main stage at Desert Ridge Marketplace including Don’t Tell Mom as well as a 12-piece band and a DJ. For those interested in a more

All guests will also be able to take part in raffle experiences, photo stations and dancing.

“Great menus and great cocktails aren’t so different than great albums and amazing bands – each is handcrafted to take you on a journey,” Baer says. “With that in mind, we want this event to be The Beatles or The Rolling Stones of the fall culinary scene.”

Scottsdale Arts’ annual gala pairs the stunning photography of Ansel Adams with a musical tribute

IF YOU GO… What: ARTrageous Scottsdale Arts Gala When: Dec. 2, 5 p.m.

(VIP) and 8:30 p.m. (concert) Where: Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 E. Second St., Scottsdale Tickets: The VIP Complete Package, $500; The Concert Package, $75 Information: www. scottsdalearts.org

Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts will bring art enthusiasts together for its annual ARTrageous Scottsdale Arts Gala benefiting Scottsdale Arts’ education and outreach programs. Last year, the annual fundraiser welcomed more than 500 guests, and, this year, the center anticipates even more in attendance as it celebrates a body of work by world-renowned photographer Ansel Adams.

The gala’s exhibition, Ansel Adams: America, will showcase more than 100 images by the celebrated photographer. As an environmentalist, Adams often captured images of natural landscapes he frequented, such as those in the West Coast. Among his most popular pieces are his black-and-white photographs of Yosemite National Park.

So Scottsdale! November ‘17

As a trained classical musician, Adams’ work was also greatly influenced by music, and the exhibit will bring his vision to life with a commissioned symphonic work by Chris Brubeck and his late father, jazz legend Dave Brubeck. The 22-minute piece, specifically created for the photo exhibit in tribute to Adams, will also be paired with a full orchestra performance led

by Peter Jaffe.

There are two ways to enjoy this ARTrageous experience: The VIP Complete Package or The Concert Package. Both packages include entry to the after-party, featuring dancing, signature cocktails, mouthwatering desserts, and opportunities to view Adams-inspired student artwork at the center’s Young @ Art Gallery.

In addition to the concert and after-party, guests who opt for The VIP Complete Package will also enjoy a culinary experience paired with fine wines and an auction with generous prizes and travel packages. The Concert Package grants access to the performance and after-party only.

Be sure to dress in your best cocktail attire, and find details on table sponsors and other sponsorship opportunities by calling 480.425.5353.

Whatever brings you to the ARTrageous Scottsdale Arts Gala — the photography, the concert or even the after-party — you are guaranteed to have an ARTrageously fun time that benefits the arts.

UNDERSTANDING NEUROPATHY

Dr. Richard Jacoby, Scottsdale’s leading Podiatry expert answers your questions Q: WHAT IS PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY? A: Your nervous system is divided into two regions – central and

peripheral. The central system includes the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral system includes all the nerve roots and extremity nerves emanating from it. It’s a broad network, and all of these peripheral nerves transmit vital motor and sensory information throughout the body. A peripheral neuropathy may interrupt or distort some of these transmissions. Diabetic neuropathy and chemo neuropathy are two of the most prevalent kinds.

Q: WHAT CAUSES PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY? A: The most common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes.

Sometimes the cause is completely unknown (idiopathic). Here are some other potential causes for neuropathy: • • • • • • •

Autoimmune disorders rheumatoid arthritis or lupus Chronic kidney disease Infections such as HIV and liver infections Low levels of vitamin B12 or other problems with your diet Poor blood flow to the legs Underactive thyroid gland Toxin exposure such as lead, mercury, and solvents may lead to peripheral neuropathy.

• Pharmaceutical drugs used to treat infections, cancer, seizures, or high blood pressure.

Q: WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF NEUROPATHY? A: Signs and symptoms include: • Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet that gradually move upward into the extremities • Pain that is sharp or throbbing • Severe sensitivity to touch • Poor coordination • Frequent falls • Muscle weakness • Paralysis

EXTREMITY HEALTH CENTER UNIQUE MEDICAL SOLUTIONS

Q: WHAT KIND OF TREATMENTS EXIST FOR PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY? A: There are several treatments available for peripheral neuropathy.

• Medications, including pain medications, neurologic modifying agents, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSDAIDs), and antidepressants • Surgery, including the Dellon® Procedure for diabetic neuropathy or nerve release for mono-neuropathies like carpal tunnel syndrome • Calmare® device, a non-invasive FDA-cleared medical device shown to effectively alleviate pain associated with neuropathy • Laser therapy using specific wavelengths of light having a strong anti-inflammatory effect on tissues that help decrease pain • Injections, including steroids, numbing agents, and stem-cell rich anti-inflammatory injections Despite treatments on the market, many patients come to Extremity Health Centers reporting their doctor was unable to alleviate their pain. Dr. Jacoby welcomes challenging cases and has achieved unprecedented results in many of these patients. If you suffer from peripheral neuropathy that has not been successfully treated despite medications, schedule a consultation with Dr. Jacoby today to learn more.

TEATIME, ANYTIME

Cozy up with a cup of comfort at three venues offering delightful afternoon refreshments

The ritual of afternoon tea is something women across the Valley – and even some doting sons and husbands – embrace. Here are the best places to rest, relax and enjoy a spot of English, traditional, afternoon, or even “twisted” tea, especially as temperatures cool.

BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ

English Rose Tea Room Tucked away in the heart of Carefree’s historic district, high tea does not get more traditional than at English Rose. Upon entering the inviting dining room, the attention to detail – delicate white chandeliers, vintage porcelain tea sets, paintings of the Queen of England – is a feast for the eyes. Once seated, the staff is quick to ask you to visit the hat room. Yes, they have a hat room, complete with fascinators, fedoras and even floppy options for you to wear during your experience. The traditional English service ($28 per person) is offered daily and includes a pot of tea from a selection of traditional and specialty flavors. Accompanying the tea is a mouthwatering collection of goodies including finger sandwiches, homemade scones with Devonshire cream and jam, and a seasonal selection of petit fours, pastries and mini cakes. 201 Easy St., Carefree; 480.488.4812; www.carefreetea.com.

The Phoenician If high-end, resort-style ambiance is your scene, then the afternoon tea service at The Phoenician is for you. A tradition in the Valley for more than 20 years, The Phoenician Afternoon Tea, which was held daily just off the main lobby of the resort, was recently upgraded and moved to its own space in the lobby as part of the resort’s multi-million-dollar facelift.

The tea service is paired with traditional accoutrements including finger sandwiches, scones and pastries, and the new space also provides room for live music and excellent people watching – attendees are often in classic teatime attire. While The Phoenician offers traditional service ($42 per person), they also offer a Royal Tea ($60 per person) that includes sparkling wine as well as a Grand Royal Tea ($70) that includes Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut Champagne as a special treat. 6000 E. Camelback Road, Scottsdale; 480.423.2530; www.thephoenician.com.

The Camby The newest of the bunch to start teatime, The Camby does things a little differently, but the result is just as delightful. Dubbed Tipsy Tea Party ($40 per person) and offered on Fridays and Saturdays from 2 to 5 p.m., The Camby’s aim is to lend a quirky twist on the tradition.

Rather than standard tea options, it features both hot and chilled tea-infused cocktails as well as tea-infused Champagne and even teathemed “mocktails.” Afternoon nibbles come courtesy of the resort’s award-winning executive chef Dushyant Singh, who’s developed a menu that includes savory mango crab avocado sliders, fried cherry green tomatoes with preserved lemon aioli, and truffle deviled eggs with potato chip dust. 2401 E. Camelback Road, Phoenix; 602.468.0700; www.thecamby.com.

VODKA VARIETALS

Sip your way through select places pouring up Belvedere’s exclusive new spirits

BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ

Good vodka tastes like almost nothing at all, or does it?

This past summer, Belvedere Vodka hosted several mixologists, spirit experts and bartenders from across the globe – including a select few from the Valley – to show tastemakers that there can be a discernable difference and nuance of flavor in their highend vodkas based on region, minerality and soils.

“Belvedere began working with one of its farms in Bartezek Lake in northeastern Poland and one in Smogóry Forest, which is in far western Poland, to harvest the exact same type of rye at the exact same time,” says Lindsey Casey, a local spirit specialist with Breakthru Beverage who took part in the summer field trip. “It’s a rare Diamond Dankowski rye usually reserved for their ultra-premium Unfiltered Belvedere. They would mix the harvested rye from each region with the same type of yeast and take it through the same process – yet the final product tasted starkly different to each of us.”

The brand successfully showed that, like with grapes and wine, the terroir where the key ingredient of rye is grown is able to shine through the distillation process with its own flavor profile and unique characteristics.

“Vodka-making in Poland dates back more than 600 years,” Casey says. “If anyone knows craftsmanship when it comes to this spirit, it’s them. And, starting this month, you don’t have to take my word for it, or theirs. You can try it for yourself.”

How? Belvedere has chosen Arizona as well as Colorado and Washington, D.C. as launch sites for both single estate rye varietals of the vodka, each named in homage to the villages where the rye was harvested.

Italian-born artist and architect Paolo Soleri (1919-2013) spent most of his career in Arizona developing a new way of sustainable life known as “Arcology,” which he defined as a blend of architecture and ecology.

Most Phoenicians know Frank Lloyd Wright’s apprentice for his works at Cosanti – Soleri’s studios in Paradise Valley, where he developed the famous bronze and ceramic bells – and for Arcosanti, an on-going construction 70 miles north of Phoenix that serves as an urban laboratory actively testing and pursuing Soleri’s Arcology philosophy.

Through Jan. 28, 2018, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) is presenting Repositioning Paolo Soleri: The City is Nature, a state-of-the-art exhibition featuring Soleri’s drawings, sculptures and models created during his richest artistic period from 1947 to the mid-1970s. In fact, it represents the largest collection of these works presented in North America since 1971, and it is the first and only retrospective and monographic exhibition since Soleri’s death in 2013.

“It represents the culmination of SMoCA’s three exhibition series with Paolo Soleri and the Cosanti Foundation, and almost a decade of engagement with, and study of, Soleri’s work and ideas,” says Sara Cochran, Ph.D., SMoCA’s director and chief curator.

“We look forward to seeing evermore interest and study of this compelling figure who pioneered so many ideas, including the idea of high-density living, and who built some of the icons in the Arizona landscape,” Cochran continues.

This exhibit is the third and final one at SMoCA exploring the trajectory of Soleri’s art, architecture and philosophy. The first exhibition was Bridges: Spanning the Ideas of Paolo Soleri (2011) and the second was Paolo Soleri: Mesa City to Arcosanti (2013).

Organized by SMoCA Contemporary Art Curator Claire C. Carter, the 4,500-square-feet exhibit gathers selected works, including Soleri’s earliest ceramic and bronze artisan crafts, architectural models, sketchbooks, fabric designs, silkscreens, sculptures, paintings, prints and photographs. It also includes elements from his built and unbuilt residences, bridges, dams, cities and transportation systems while delving into his relationship with Frank Lloyd Wright and his influence on American counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s.

In celebration of the retrospective, Carter published a hardcover catalog documenting Soleri’s exhibition artworks, including an unpublished interview with the artist and a photographic essay of Soleri’s two experimental communities, Cosanti and Arcosanti.

Museum admission is $10 for adults, $7 for students, and free for members and ages 15 and under. Free on Thursdays after 5 p.m., and all day/night on Fridays and Saturdays. For more information, visit www.smoca.org.

Blue Martini

Overlooking the gardens of the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall, AZ88 is a contemporary haven of cocktail and culinary delights; in fact, it dubs itself a “modern-day saloon.” Famous for its ever-changing art installations, the venue is the place to get martinis and is a favorite for elevated American classics such as the grilled cheese (add bacon!) and the eponymous chicken sandwich. www.az88.com.

At this trendy, upscale lounge, you’ll find more than 42 signature martinis, craft cocktails, wines and spirits plus light bites. The red- and blue-lit atmosphere lends a seductive vibe across the venue’s three different areas, and there’s always a rotating list of live entertainment.

PARADISE FOUND The captivating Caribbean island of Nevis is open to visitors

BY SUSAN LANIER-GRAHAM

The island of Nevis is one of the most romantic places in the world – and the small Caribbean locale may also be one of the luckiest. It was spared damage from both Irma and Maria hurricanes, which destroyed neighboring islands. While Nevis did experience gale-force winds and heavy rain, the island did not sustain any damage and is ready for visitors. In the shadow of Nevis Mountain, this idyllic escape is filled with extraordinary history, cuisine and charm.

The History of Nevis

PHOTO BY NEVIS TOURISM AUTHORITY

Part of the West Indies, this tropical paradise is the oldest British colony in the Caribbean. When Christopher Columbus arrived on the island in 1493, he thought the cloud cap on the island was snow, so he gave it the name Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves, or Our Lady of the Snows. Today, the island is simply known as Nevis – and you’ll never find any snow there.

In 1628, the British colonized the island and it became the sugar capital of the British Empire. The island’s most historical figure, Alexander Hamilton, was born on the island in 1775. The math genius became a member of the first U.S. Continental Congress, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the first U.S. secretary of the treasury, and founded the organization that helped abolish slavery in New York.

The sugar industry died out after slavery was abolished on the island in 1834, and Nevis became part of the independent national of St. Kitts and Nevis in 1983. You’ll still feel a bit of that colonial influence as you explore the island; the ruins of the sugar mills are now grazing spots for herds of wild donkeys and monkeys, while the wide verandas are perfect for sipping classic Nevisian rum punches.

Nevis, unlike higher profile St. Kitts or other Caribbean islands, is quiet and romantic with no big city distractions. For a peaceful retreat, head to the Relais & Châteaux Montpelier Plantation & Beach, a 60-acre hideaway at the base of Mount Nevis. The plantation dates back to 1687, but the AAA Four Diamond property has all of today’s modern amenities.

The luxurious sanctuary includes 19 ocean view rooms and two villas. Take time to walk through the gardens, breathing in the fragrance of the local herbs and flowers. Each morning, executive chef Cristian Bassi serves up a full English breakfast on the patio to set you up for days spent luxuriating by the pool – order up

fresh flavors from Indigo or a cool rum cocktail – or heading to the private beach on the island’s protected western side.

Evenings start in the Great Room, where owner Muffin Hoffman greets guests with cocktails, rum punch and canapes.

You can then enjoy dinner at Restaurant 750, with local specialties like succulent spiny lobster, which are plentiful in the local waters.

For a very special experience, book a five-course tasting menu in the 300-year-old Mill Privée. This historic sugar mill is ideal for an intimate candlelit dinner, where chef Bassi presents you with a selection of scrumptious Caribbean flavors.

If you prefer a waterfront retreat in Nevis, head to Four Seasons Nevis on Pinney’s Beach. This 3-mile stretch of pristine sand is the focal point for the 350-acre resort, which has 179 rooms and 17 suites along with a selection of private villas.

The Four Seasons Nevis has multiple pools, a spa (complete with a spa garden), and a Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course. And, as with the rest of the island, there is plenty of great food at the resort. Mango, the resort’s open-air, waterfront restaurant, features Caribbean cuisine and a rum bar. Catch the sunset before noshing on barbecue ribs with coconut coleslaw and a rum tasting to complement your meal. Whatever you order, be sure to try the Llewellyn’s Hot Pepper Sauce. It’s available in a variety of flavors and is made by Llewellyn Clarke, a local Nevisian who is also a chef at the resort. Before you leave Mango’s, ask chief mixologist Kendie Williams to make you a Spicy Island Turtle, which is comprised of Naked Turtle White Rum, mango puree, sugar cane syrup, and a dash of Llewellyn’s mango-pepper hot sauce.

For a sense of place, take a walk down the beach from the Four Seasons to Sunshine’s Beach Bar & Grill. This collection of brightly colored picnic tables on the beach is a favorite hangout for locals and visitors alike. Order a Killer Bee (or two) and anything with Sunshine’s secret sauce, and let the sound of the waves take you away.

2018 LEXUS LS Drive as though you’re flying first class

BY JIM PRUETER

VITAL STATS: 2018 Lexus LS

Luxury carmakers always have one flagship vehicle. Most often it is their biggest sedan, one that radiates the essence of excellence, with the presence of pure luxury. For Lexus, that vehicle is the LS sedan, originally launched 28 years ago.

For its fifth generation, Lexus has perfected the car, and it is nothing short of exceptional.

The 2018 LS is rear-wheel drive, with available all-wheel drive, and will also be offered in a hybrid variant when it goes on sale in February 2018. It is powered by an all-new, twin-turbo, 3.5liter V-6 engine with 416 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, and gets from zero to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. A new 10-speed transmission is standard.

The new LS has a lower, ground-hugging appearance and a striking coupe-like silhouette with a six-window profile. Luxury audiences have a measured preference for big grilles, and the LS doesn’t disappoint. A unique rendition of the massive spindle grille is flanked by narrow slit-like projector lamps and L-shaped LEDs. It’s the most sharply angled and edgy vehicle in its class.

The effects of the new, longer wheelbase really show up inside, with massive passenger

116

room and comfort. Surprisingly, the best seat in the new LS is in back – it’s like flying first class.

Executive seats heat, cool, massage, recline and include a raised ottoman. There are also 11.6-inch entertainment screens, a Mark Levinson 3-D audio system, and ambient lighting. Several individually handcrafted Shimamoku wood patterns are available in a choice of matte or gloss and light or dark. It is unquestionably a showy, almost arrogant, display of luxury automotive craftsmanship.

For those who want more, Lexus offers an F Sport package with dynamic handling, active stabilizers, sport-tuned suspension, and air height adjustment to lower the vehicle’s profile for improved dynamics at highway speeds.

As expected, the LS is one of the world’s most technologically advanced automobiles.

Among other things, it provides world-class safety technology with the Lexus Safety System+.

So, what’s it like to drive? It’s certainly quick enough; even with the V-6, drivers won’t be disappointed with its performance and handling.

With expressive new styling, state-of-the-art technology, and new imposing length, Lexus promises a “new level of flagship luxury in every aspect.”

Base price: $75,000 (est.)

Price as tested: Not available at press time Seating: 4 Engine: 3.5-liter twinturbo V-6 Horsepower: 416 Fuel economy: 19/29 mpg city/ highway Fab features: Gorgeous interior and craftsmanship Executive rear seat luxury New coupe-like exterior styling

Lithuanian cuisine and its comfort-forward dishes have historically been regarded as peasant food in other parts of the world. But at Sonata’s Restaurant, this so-called peasant food is put on a pedestal. The smoked beef short rib stroganoff ($25) is a perfect example.

The hearty dish’s main component – beef brisket – is brined for 48 hours, smoked for six, and then braised for eight until tender. Wild mushrooms are cooked in the leftover jus for added earthiness to complement the meat. Guests can choose for it to be served over housemade pappardelle egg noodles for a more traditional stroganoff, or with buttery Boursin-infused mashed potatoes. It is then topped with a European sour cream called Smetana, and garnished with chopped onions and enoki mushrooms. Sonata’s Restaurant, 10050 N.

BERRIES & BUBBLES Ocean Prime’s smokin’ sipper

BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ / PHOTO BY ELIZABETH BARRY

Ocean Prime is most often lauded for seafood and steaks. But, as it turns out, just as much work goes into their libations menu as their main.

“Most people don’t realize we juice all of our own fruit in-house as well as make all of our own tonics, syrups and even sours by hand each day,” says Thomas Whitman, Ocean Prime Phoenix’s beverage manager, noting they also encourage their staff to play around and experiment with new ideas and flavor combinations. “Ocean Prime has also implemented an associate beverage program, where team members compete to get their cocktails featured nationwide.”

Ocean Prime’s best-selling cocktail – Berries & Bubbles ($14) – has served as inspiration for dozens of new ideas for a decade.

The drink starts with housemade sour, which is combined with Belvedere Citrus Vodka, a crisp, aromatic spirit made by actually soaking fruit into the vodka.

Whitman then adds creme de cassis.

“Many people add Chambord to drinks like this, which balances the sour with its sweetness, but cassis gives guests something a little different and unexpected,” says Whitman, noting that cassis is sweet, yet laced with notes of luscious black currants.

Whitman then brings the shaker to the guest’s table, along with a martini glass that contains dry ice and Grand Marniermarinated blackberries, as well as a side of Domaine Chandon Brut.

“We shake the mixture in front of guests and then pour it over the dry ice, creating a smoke show,” Whitman says. “We top it off with Chandon for effervescence.”

CHEF CONVERSATIONS In the kitchen with Rochelle Daniel of Fat Ox

Rochelle Daniel serves as executive chef at Fat Ox and focuses her menu on contemporary, hearty fare with bold flavors from throughout rural Italy.

BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ / PHOTO BY DEBBY WOLVOS

You made some impressive stops before Fat Ox – tell us a few.

After first getting into the kitchen at age 15 and then taking on the Scottsdale Culinary Institute, I decided to go into what was named the hardest kitchen to work in by Food and Wine magazine: Zinc Bistro, where, eventually, I earned the chef de cuisine role. I then traveled to Sedona to be the executive chef at L’Auberge de Sedona, where I helped rebrand and rename both concepts at the resort, Etch Kitchen & Bar and Cress on Oak Creek, before making my way back to Chef Matt Carter at his newest baby, Fat Ox. But you look familiar from more than just the kitchen.

I recently appeared on Food Network’s Chopped Grill Masters. While the show aired in August, we filmed it in freezing New York City in April. Imagine being outside, on national TV for the first time, and grilling in front of all those people and cameras having no idea what you’re cooking. No pressure or anything!

Yet that’s not your biggest cooking adventure to date?

Nope! That would have to be when I was invited to cook at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World a few years ago. Not only was it the experience of a lifetime, but I was also able to bring my family for all the behind-the-scenes Disney fun.

What’s your favorite thing to cook now that it’s getting cooler?

I love cooking fish – especially the process of breaking down the whole fish to developing a recipe based on its delicacy, flavor profiles, and even where it was caught. If I could, I would go out and catch it, too!

Any foods you hate to eat or cook?

In my opinion, thick-cut raw onions overpower everything.

End NEW IN TOWN

MOWRY & COTTON The Phoenician debuts a new eatery with local flavor in mind

BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ / PHOTOS COURTESY OF AWE COLLECTIVE

Over the past two years, The Phoenician has been undergoing an extensive, multi-million-dollar refurbishment. Rooted in luxury and layered with details that define the destination’s history, location and culture, The Phoenician’s new look will feature a more contemporary use of influences from the surrounding Sonoran Desert. It also includes substantial redesigns of the guest rooms, casitas, The Canyon Suites, public and dining areas, pools, and even its spa.

In mid-October, one of the most anticipated new venues courtesy of the renovation, Mowry & Cotton, opened its doors to major acclaim.

Replacing Il Terrazzo, Mowry & Cotton relaxes the traditional luxe scene of The Phoenician, and, instead, aims to draw locals in with an inviting, laidback vibe; seasonally inspired dishes; and winsome drinks. Inside, there is a spacious, open dining room where a signature hearth oven stands as the central focal point. Sleek surfaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, ambient lighting, and rustic touches make for a relaxed backdrop for both comfy booth and chair seating.

So Scottsdale! November ‘17

“We got the name itself from two Old West businessmen – Mowry and Cotton – who, legend has it, partnered together to open one of Phoenix’s first fine liquor establishments more than 100 years ago,” says Lisa Mercer, food and beverage director for the resort.

Each of the menus, which include breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch options (in coming weeks), is an array of regionally sourced dishes driven by chef de cuisine Tandy Peterson, who boasts an impressive background, including time at Cafe Bink and Binkley’s Restaurant as well as Spain’s Asador Etxebarri, which has been lauded as among the top 10 restaurants in the world. Peterson’s goal?

A menu as approachable as the two folk-legend barmen themselves, bursting with flame-cured, indigenous flavors and textures of modern American cuisine.

Guests can expect the likes of creative flatbreads, grilled pheasant, Southwesterninfused striped bass, and smoked spare ribs paired with a strong lineup of veggies like barbecue beets and caramelized cauliflower.

The buzzy drink options and bar space itself are equally as impressive, with everything from spirit-forward spins on bourbon cocktails to regional craft beers, and, of course, extensive wine options. Beyond the bar is perhaps the venue’s most beloved space during fall – an expansive, openair back porch with views of the newly redesigned pools that is picture-perfect for drinks or dining.

Mowry & Cotton is open for breakfast from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and dinner daily from 5 to 9 p.m. Beginning Nov. 11, brunch service will be from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
