Katie Seitz

Katie joined the Silver Grove team in March of 2021 as a part-time administrative assistant. After working in the hospitality industry for more than 20 years—and owning her own bistro for five of those years—she made a significant career change when her son was born to ensure a better work-life balance.

Katie has a service approach at the heart of everything she does. A graduate of Niagara University’s College of Hospitality, she lived and worked in Washington, DC, for more than nine years. During that time, she worked at two premier country clubs and a top-tier catering company, which was hired by the United States Golf Association to manage the catering of the corporate hospitality tents at the Golf U.S. Opens.

In 2015, she returned home to Buffalo to be closer to her family and fulfilled her lifelong dream of owning a restaurant. She opened Homegrown Bistro in January 2016 and operated successfully in the village of Orchard Park until December 2020.

After getting to know Jason and Ryan over the years of their breakfasts at the bistro, she decided to join the Silver Grove Financial Group team where she now puts her service and relationship expertise to work as she creates connections with our clients and the community.  She also enjoys being active with local charitable organizations, spearheading Silver Grove Financial Group’s Giving Project.

Katie is native to the Southtowns and currently lives in Orchard Park, New York, with her husband, son and Poodle, Chip.
