About The Author

Jim Tselikis, a Cape Elizabeth, Maine, native, is the cofounder of Cousins Maine Lobster, a thriving food truck and fast-casual restaurant business with over 75 locations. A 2008 graduate of the College of the Holy Cross with a degree in political science, Jim left a successful career in medical device sales to launch a single food truck in Los Angeles with his cousin, Sabin Lomac, in 2012. Their mission was simple: bring the authentic Maine lobster experience to the West Coast. Their journey took a pivotal turn after a memorable appearance on Shark Tank, securing a partnership with Barbara Corcoran and propelling their brand into nationwide franchising. Committed to sustainability and a “family first” approach, Jim continues to lead the company’s growth, bringing fresh Maine lobster to communities across the US and beyond.
