I worked for The Union Bar and Grill from 2006 until 2014. Union Street was devastated by a fire and because of that I was, all of a sudden, unemployed. Art and the kind people at Jackie O’s hired quite a few of us. The rest, as they say, is history.

How did you get your start at Jackie O’s?

In 2005, my friend and I were looking to buy a bar. In late 2005, through the urging of our great friend Brad Clark, we purchased O’Hooley’s, a run down brewpub installed in a building made for hobbits. We started with 5 employees. Unfortunatly, my mother was diagnosed with cancer in early 2006 and passed away 6 short months later, but not before knowing that the brewpub would be named in her honor. Jackie O’s became the name many of you know today in the Winter of 2007. With a ton of hard work and dedication, I have been holding on to this ride for the past 14 years and counting!

Hobbies?

Skiing, reading, playing frisbee with Thermos the dog, traveling, language, teaching and learning!

How did you get your start at Jackie O’s?

In June 2011 as a student desperate for a job in my new hometown of Athens, I was lucky to be hired as a hostess uptown right before Ohio Brew Week that year. I then began serving food and eventually slinging drinks. I knew nothing about beer when I started at Jackie O’s, but as I learned more about beer at work, and chemical engineering in school, I became interested in beer science and production. Graduation timed out well with Jackie O’s expansion, and my dream of being a beer scientist came true in 2015. #noragrets
