Mary Huntly

Mary Huntly

Mary Huntly is the Executive Director and owner of Trinity House Calls, a Las Vegas-based healthcare practice providing medical services through both in-office visits and mobile care. With licensure as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) and a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Mary Huntly brings a straightforward and dependable approach to healthcare, shaped by hands-on experience and a dedication to meeting patients where they are.

Her career includes leadership in a wide range of medical and caregiving settings. She has managed hospice services, operated a residential group home for individuals with Alzheimer’s, and led a hormone therapy clinic. In addition, she has owned a family medical practice and a mobile healthcare company. These diverse roles have enabled her to develop a well-rounded understanding of patient care, as well as the organizational demands that accompany running healthcare operations.

She provides care across all age groups, addressing a range of health issues from minor to more advanced conditions. Her clinical expertise includes wound care, where she treats diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries, and surgical wounds. Her focus remains on providing timely and consistent treatment designed to help patients heal while minimizing complications.

She also spent four years working with the Department of Defense under a top-secret security clearance. That experience strengthened her sense of responsibility and precision, which she now carries into her daily clinical work and practice leadership.

At Trinity Family Practice, she oversees a full spectrum of medical services. These include annual wellness exams, preventive screenings, immunizations, acute illness care, and management of long-term chronic diseases. The practice offers flexibility through telehealth appointments and mobile care visits, ensuring patients have access to the care they need, whether they’re at home, at work, or visiting the clinic.

Additional services include lab testing, medication oversight, sports and school physicals, infection screenings, and care coordination with specialists. Each service is structured to support patient continuity and reduce gaps in communication or treatment.

A major focus of her practice is caring for older people. With experience supporting individuals living with memory challenges, she helps provide care plans tailored to the needs of aging patients. Services include fall risk prevention, cognitive health support, medication safety reviews, and nutritional guidance. Her team works with families to ensure older patients are supported across every dimension of their health.

She also leads efforts in transitional care, helping patients adjust after hospital discharge. Her team prepares discharge plans, reviews medications to prevent errors, schedules follow-up appointments, and educates patients and caregivers on what to expect during the recovery process. These efforts help promote safer healing and reduce the risk of hospital readmission.

She earned her Registered Nurse license in 1999 and became a certified Family Nurse Practitioner in 2018. These milestones reflect years of dedicated learning and a commitment to enhancing patient care in both clinical and community settings.

In her personal life, she remains committed to maintaining her health and engaging in physical activity.

Craig Bonn

Craig Bonn

Over the course of his career, Craig Bonn has dedicated more than thirty years to developing strategies that help investors participate in opportunities outside of traditional markets. He focuses on alternative investments, private equity, and pre-IPO companies. Today, he is the Managing Partner of Harley Capital LLC, an independent broker-dealer, and the Managing Member of Edge Partners LLC, which organizes Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) for accredited investors seeking access to late-stage private companies. His professional record includes exposure to various industries—technology, healthcare, energy, and consumer markets—and early involvement in companies such as Facebook, Databricks, and Anthropic.

Craig’s path began in New York, where he was born and raised, before pursuing his undergraduate education at the University of Hartford. Soon after completing his degree, he joined Lehman Brothers. Working at the firm placed him amid global financial activity, where he learned to evaluate risk, manage portfolios, and advise clients across diverse situations. While the environment was demanding and competitive, it also revealed to him the limitations of conventional financial instruments. He observed that not every client’s long-term goals could be met through traditional markets alone, which inspired him to look more closely at alternatives.

Guided by this insight, Craig established Harley Capital LLC. He aimed to create an independent, transparent, and long-term client service firm. Harley Capital grew into a boutique investment company, serving high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and trusts. Clients of Harley Capital benefit from carefully selected opportunities in areas such as private equity and pre-IPO investments, which are often beyond the reach of conventional investors. The firm emphasizes diversification, clear communication, and fiduciary responsibility as central to its mission.

Craig further extended his professional focus through Edge Partners LLC. At Edge Partners, he applies the SPV model to give accredited investors structured participation in pre-IPO and late-stage venture opportunities. Organized under a Delaware Series LLC, the firm is efficient and flexible while maintaining thorough due diligence. Edge Partners has prioritized investments in fields such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics, and software, which are industries positioned for long-term growth. He oversees acquiring securities in private companies and holding them until liquidity events such as acquisitions or public offerings occur.

His approach to investing emphasizes three pillars: disciplined risk management, appropriate timing, and a long-term vision. Craig believes that successful outcomes require choosing companies with potential and structuring the investments to safeguard participants. His preference for SPVs reflects this philosophy, providing both access to growth and a framework that manages risk.

Beyond pre-IPO markets, Craig has been active in natural gas mineral funds, venture partnerships, hospitality REITs, and specialized financing. His involvement includes WhiteHawk Energy and investments in Outstanding Foods, Braemar Hotels and Resorts, Prospect Capital, and Urica Therapeutics. Each reflects his practice of assessing industries, market conditions, and company fundamentals before committing capital.

Craig has remained committed to philanthropy and community involvement outside his professional roles. He supports organizations such as Pink Aid and Fred’s Team, which fund cancer research and health initiatives. His contributions include both financial support and participation in awareness-building events.

Craig has lived with his wife in Westport, Connecticut, for over 25 years. He is a runner who has completed five marathons, including the New York Marathon. He also enjoys traveling and gaining perspective by engaging with different cultures and economies.

Balancing his career achievements with philanthropy and personal pursuits, Craig Bonn continues to follow a path that reflects dedication, long-term vision, and community engagement.
