I am honored to be the 2018 Chair for the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce because I love networking with and connecting businesses! I enjoy working with the business community in Fortuna and want to see them continue to grow and succeed.

Seth came to the Eel River Valley in early 2016 to open the Fortuna Grocery Outlet with his wife Stefanie. They are independent operators and are proud to own a local business and support the local community with over 38 jobs that are 95% full time.
