Samm Caselli graduated from the University of Wyoming College of Law. While in law school, Samm excelled in the university’s Defender Aid Program providing post conviction relief and earning the program’s Outstanding Student Award. After graduation, Samm served low income clients and advocated for juvenile justice reform. She then focused on employment law before being given the opportunity to work as Assistant General Counsel for Taco John’s International, Inc., a system of approximately 390 restaurants. It was during this time where she found her passion: franchising.
While working at the franchisor’s corporate headquarters, Samm focused on all aspects of the quick-serve restaurant industry including supply, marketing, operations, human resources, and restaurant technology. During that time, she gained expertise in all facets of the franchising process from transfers and renewals to the franchise disclosure process and area development agreements.
Samm enjoys hiking, exploring, and skiing in the Colorado San Juan mountains with her husband and five year old son.
