Born and raised in Southern California, Rachel is a Nashville newbie, but that didn't stop her from becoming a know-it-all about her adopted city. After her husband was offered a job in Brentwood last summer, they packed up their house, pup, and Rachel's 8 month pregnant belly, and traded their beloved Long Beach, CA for East Nashville. As if a cross-country move and new baby Holden (born 9.20.14) wasn't enough, Rachel started her dream business—launching leather goods line, H. & Clark, in January of this year (a far cry from her background in non-profit development and management). She loves to read, eat, write, and eat some more…and does some yoga to counteract all of the eating. As a self-proclaimed California girl who never thought she would leave the Best Coast, Rachel is amazed every day how comfortable she feels in Nashville and loves nothing more than spending time with her little family exploring everything the city has to offer: music, parks, museums and food—especially the food.

  1. Hi Rachel. I, too, am from CA. I am from northern CA and spent six years in San diego and Los Angeles. I met my now husband and moved here once I got married. Love the blog and all the work you all put into it. Makes my research a lot easier! Thank you!

    Our boys are 20 days apart (9/4/14). And I also live in Brentwood. Thanks again for your post. If you put together play dates I would love to join you as I don’t know too many people with babies my sons age!

    Thanks,
    Nisha
