What’s with the name?

I grew up as an only child immersed in the world of thoroughbred racing, thanks to my mom’s career as a horse owner and trainer. At one point, she named a horse “Notorious Ness,” a clever play on my childhood nickname. Although I’m not truly notorious for anything other than being a neat freak, the name stuck as a playful nod to my unique upbringing and an homage to my mom—a constant reminder to channel her determination, creativity, and touch of notoriety in everything I do.
