Michael Caplin
Orchestrating the building of the next great American city requires an eye for history and a “vision” of how it could be better. The developers of “Tysons” found that balance in Michael Caplin. A 16 year resident of McLean, Michael’s experience as an attorney and social entrepreneur is invaluable to the mission. "Our dream is a Tysons in which you won't need to use your car, you can walk to the Metro, to the bus, to the stores, to the culture, it’s all together."

Patrick & Julie Bazin
Creating a great restaurant had been a dream of Patrick and Julie for most of their early careers – Patrick as an Executive Chef at the Occidental Grill, and Julie selling clothes at a high end clothier. They found their dream on historic church Street in Vienna when they opened Bazin’s on Church. Always alive and filled with a desire to serve the community, they have created an exquisite restaurant that reflects their refined palates, sense of community and offers an inviting dining experience.
