Sammy Gue spent the majority of his career in education, serving in roles ranging from teacher and principal to most recently District Superintendent at South Point Local School District. He now oversees day-to-day operations as the Operating Partner for Guthrie’s Chicken and the group’s upcoming Smalls Sliders locations.
