Meet the Team

  • “I love to create memorable experiences. I always have. Even as a little kid, I would look for small ways to make everyday activities special. I was the kid who put the vase of dandelions on the picnic table, asked my mom if we could use the “good” dishes and, to be honest, got a little excited when the candles came out. And if there was actually something to celebrate, you couldn’t hold me back. Decorations, name cards, menu suggestions – I loved the planning and organizing! (Or maybe I have an uncontrollable urge to be in charge.)

    I started working in the restaurant industry when I was 15. I liked the energy, the challenge, and I liked being part of a team. Still do. And now I also like to grow people, to set them up for success and make them better at what they do. It’s a huge part of the business of creating memorable experiences. My goal with this restaurant is to do that on a daily basis; to create a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere where people can share great food. Sharing food creates connection and community – it’s important. The little kid with the dandelions knew that all along.”

  • “When I look back on my life and think about what food and cooking means to me, without hesitation, I would say that it is through food and cooking that I am best able to express myself. Cooking is how I share and connect. I believe I got this from my father. He wasn’t around a lot when I was growing up. I didn’t play catch with my dad or go fishing with him. We hung out together in the kitchen as I watched him, and sometimes got to help him, cook meals for our family. Some of my fondest memories are the times when my dad would come home late from work and cook himself a late dinner while talking with me about the day’s events. My dad connected with us best through his food. We all knew that if my dad was cooking a big meal, the whole family was coming over. It was his thing. Over the years, I have taken over this role and have found that I too connect with others through my cooking. The kitchen is where I share my enthusiasm. It’s where I feel most comfortable. I love how the excitement around food brings people together!

    I’ve been in the restaurant industry my whole working life, following someone else’s menu, executing someone else’s plan, fulfilling someone else’s dream. Kin & Folk is my opportunity to invite people to celebrate each other over my food, and to share my joy and excitement through ingredients that have inspired me. With the sharing of food, we make new friends, find new love, and count our blessings. I want to be a part of that story.”

MEET THE FAM

At Kin & Folk, we’re more than a team, we’re a family (literally).
Rooted in a shared love for good food, genuine hospitality, and bringing people together, our crew is the heart of everything we do. Each member of our team brings their own story, skill, and flavour to the table from the kitchen to the floor, behind the bar, marketing, the numbers and beyond.

We believe great restaurants are built on connection between the team, the food, and the guests we welcome each day. It’s that sense of kinship that fuels every dish we plate, every cocktail we craft, and every guest experience we create.

We’re endlessly grateful to be here doing what we love, surrounded by a team we’re proud of, and a community that continues to show up and support us. Thanks for being part of the Kin & Folk story.
