Debbie Lambert

Debbie Lambert is a former two-sport athlete in track & field and volleyball who grew up in Kāneʻohe, Hawaiʻi, and starred at Punahou High School, where she won multiple state championships and became one of only two women in school history to earn three Most Outstanding Performer awards at the Punahou Relays. She helped lead Punahou’s volleyball team to its first state championship in 20 years before continuing her athletic career at Stanford University, where she contributed to three NCAA national championships in women’s volleyball. After earning degrees in Product Design and Mechanical Engineering, Debbie spent 17 years at Apple as a Product Manager, working on iPod accessories, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Fitness+. Throughout her academic and professional life, she has drawn on an athlete’s mindset—discipline, resilience, focus, and adaptability—to navigate complex team dynamics, remain calm under pressure, and persist through ambiguity and failure. She was inducted into the Punahou School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019 and is the parent of two children at The International School of San Francisco.

Scott Oxandaboure  

Scott competed in all the team sports you might expect a kid to play in his hometown of San Diego, then stumbled into golf at age 12. He loved the complex strategic demands and intense individualism of the sport, finding deep satisfaction in a game where success is driven entirely by intrinsic motivation.

He played varsity high school golf at age 13, then excelled at Palomar Junior College, where he won the California State JC Championship and was inducted into the Palomar Hall of Fame. He later transferred to USC, where he and his team won a Pac-12 Championship.

After earning an economics degree from USC, Scott played high-level amateur golf for a short while before being backed by TaylorMade/Adidas and turning pro. Just after winning his first pro event, his professional career was cut short by a back injury.

During recovery, Scott joined the staff at Titleist, where he was the lead lab and test technician within their research and development group, contributing to the product design and launch of the 910-917 metalwoods lines, and helped develop and test some of the technology that Titleist still uses in their club heads today. 

Following recovery, Scott returned to amateur golf, reaching the California State Amateur quarterfinals and qualifying multiple times for the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship. He took a short break for a move to Australia, an MBA, and the early years of his son's life, but recently resumed competition. Most recently, he won the President's Cup at the Olympic Club and has his eye set on a series of tournaments over the next few years, starting with the SF City Championship in March.

Professionally, Scott has moved into another field entirely, managing operational transformation at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Throughout his athletic and professional journeys, Scott draws from the same deep vein of calm, precision, and persistence. He pivots and problem- solves, is a big advocate of journaling as a method of mental clarity and growth, and leans into productive failure at every opportunity.

His son is in third grade at International.

Peter Hemsley

Peter started his professional cooking career timidly as a curious line cook during vacation breaks in college. Always inclined to the arts of the hand, as a multidisciplinary, the transition from “arts and letters” to “knives and produce” was a natural and unavoidable progression, precipitated by both an insatiable appetite for food and desire to comprehend the arts of the table.

After completing his undergraduate at Georgetown University, Peter attended the world-renowned Academie Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France, as well as the Sorbonne, earning a supplemental degree in French Culture and Language studies, with the intention of refining his craft under Michelin-starred chefs in France. This, he did, over the span of a 5-year period in Paris, with stints at La Maison Blanche (Pourcel Brothers), Senderens (Michelin **), and L’Arpege (Michelin ***). 

Here in San Francisco, Peter is most well known for his short-lived restaurant Aphotic, 2022-2024, a best-in-class seafood restaurant experience at the luxury level. His work was recognized by the Michelin guide with California’s first seafood restaurant, Green Star (for activism and food sustainability), as well as distinctions for quality in food (Michelin *), and beverage (Michelin *, for Best Cocktail Program). 

Peter recently formed his own hospitality group, Jackson Square Hospitality, which is actively working on projects to be debuted in 2026 and 2027, including a cocktail bar, a classic American tavern, and an event space. The Chef still loves to cook at home, and hopes his efforts rub off (at least on the palate) of his three children, fraternal twins in the Grade 5, and his daughter in Grade 1.

Steven Le  

Steve was born in Saigon, South Vietnam, shortly before the country fell. His family moved to France when he was eight, and to Southern California two years later. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, which led to five years of military service before his first stint in the classroom. Aside from classroom teaching, he has directed an educational nonprofit, run operations for a manufacturing company, and worked on federal policy. Starting in early 2016, wanting to understand the deep division in our country, he spent three years traveling by car throughout all fifty states to listen to and collect people’s stories. He accomplished this by inviting friends and strangers to 259 meals, all of which he cooked in people's homes. He continues to publish stories about ideas, places, and people that can help us better understand one another on the Substack called "Le Mobile Feast." He currently teaches Upper School English at The International School of San Francisco.
