Michael Calkins
President
I am the Chief Sales Officer and co-owner of Trolley Hospitality Companies, the parent company of Trolley House Refreshments, Trolley Eats, Groovin’ Gourmets, and Gourmet Gang. We deliver customized hospitality, catering, and dining experiences to businesses and clients throughout Virginia.
After graduating from St. Christopher’s School and earning my B.A. in Economics from the Virginia Military Institute, I spent nearly two decades at Integrated Global Services in various sales, management, and leadership roles.
In 2006, I decided to pursue my passion for entrepreneurship and acquired Vending Services of Richmond, which has since evolved into the thriving hospitality group I help lead today. With over 19 years of experience building client relationships and creating customized refreshment, catering and dining experiences, I’m passionate about delivering happiness to our clients, our guests, and our team. I believe in working hard, having fun, and giving back to the community.
When I’m not collaborating with our amazing team, you’ll find me spending weekends with my wife, Kelley, our three kids, Michael, Lily, and Claire, and our dog, Captain |
