Sean Palani is a long-time veteran of the hospitality industry, having started in a local diner back home in CT when he was fifteen. What started out as a part-time job to put some money in his pockets has turned into a lifetime passion for serving others. After living all over the US and holding several roles, Sean finally created a rolling hospitality cart that brings people together over a cup of freshly brewed Turkish coffee. This experience allows him to blend two of his passions: serving others and creating lasting relationships. This blend is central to hospitality and forms the foundation of his consulting business, “The Pineapple Project: A Southern Hospitality Company.” When Sean is not playing with coffee in the sand, you can find him with his wonderful twin boys Frankie and Keoki, always on the hunt for new coffee shops and food spots to support. Sean is also the co-founder of the Atlanta Guys Dinner Group, an Atlanta-based 501(c)(3)-registered nonprofit that meets every other month to support both a different small eatery and a GA-based nonprofit/charity or cause. Twice a year, they invite the community to come out to support their annual backpack, toy and warming drive.
