Built by people who actually live here
Neuhoff Ranch is rooted in Del Ray — its founders are neighbors, believers, and operators who know how to build things that last.
Growing up in Dallas, Texas gave Laura-Brynn two things she couldn't live without: great food and better shopping. When she relocated to DC in 2013, she was so pleased to quickly find a home in the hospitality industry of the city, and thanks Neighborhood Restaurant Group heartily for filling the queso-sized hole in her heart. The shopping gap has been quietly gnawing at her ever since.
Neuhoff Ranch is her love letter to Del Ray: the boutique she always wanted, right in the neighborhood she calls home.
By day, LB is Director of Operations at Neighborhood Restaurant Group, where she builds the systems that keep ambitious restaurants running: aligning departments, developing leaders, and using data to push performance forward. She came up through the events world, producing festivals and fundraisers nationwide — including Snallygaster, the largest beer festival on the East Coast. Her favorite way to spend time at home is hosting friends and family, sharing food and planning her next holiday party.
LB holds a Georgetown degree in American Studies and Sociology, has strong opinions about crossword puzzle difficulty, and shares her Del Ray home with her husband Jonathan and their dog Millie.
Growing up in Northern New Jersey, Jonathan was trusted early and took that seriously. It made him someone who shows up, follows through, and genuinely cares about the people around him. When he landed in the DMV in 2012, he brought that same instinct with him and never really left.
Over the years, Jonathan and Laura-Brynn have eaten their way across the world, and the spots that stayed with them were never just about what was on the shelf or the plate. They were about the feeling of being somewhere that someone clearly cared about. He started thinking about his passions: hosting people, building businesses, and caring for the community around him. In a world that keeps pulling us toward screens, Jonathan believes what people actually crave is each other. Neuhoff Ranch is built around that conviction: a place for real conversations, meaningful finds, and the kind of moments that don’t need a caption.
Alongside developing Neuhoff Ranch, Jonathan leads partnerships at Procurement Sciences, the world’s leading platform for government contractors, where he builds partner ecosystems and drives revenue strategy from the ground up. He came up through some of the most demanding sales environments in the country, from early-stage startups to unicorns to family-owned firms and developed a reputation for earning trust quickly and building relationships that last.
He holds a degree from American University’s Kogod School of Business. Since 2022, he has called Del Ray home, drawn in by the neighbors, the regulars, and the rare small-town feeling Mount Vernon Avenue holds onto in the middle of a big city.
When he is not working, he is thinking of who to host next. Dinner parties for friends, holiday gatherings, neighbors dropping by unannounced, and a mezcal margarita or Negroni always within reach. The door is usually open. The quieter moments belong to long walks, tennis, and dropping the needle on a Khruangbin record. He shares it all with Laura-Brynn and Millie and would not have it any other way.
