Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Jeff has been in the food and beverage industry since age eighteen. A fourteen-year veteran behind the bar, Jeff has had experience working in many establishments – including Cavanaugh’s in the south loop, and Cab’s Wine Bistro on Main. Combining good conversation with memorable drinks, he believes bartending is the ultimate expression of personality and creativity – and continues to perfect his craft everyday.

"I am a 14 yr. Veteran in bartending, and I enjoy creating new and innovative drinks using fresh ingredients and juices"

Megan began her career in hospitality at the age of 17 as a hostess in her home town of Vancouver, Washington.  Since, she has had experience in fine dining, event planning, and bartending for the last 8 years.  She moved to Seattle 6 years ago where she worked for a luxury hotel before joining the team at Urbane.  She is a people person by nature, so bartending is a perfect match for her personality.  She also believes in using the freshest fruit, herbs and juices possible in hand crafted cocktails.

I am originally from Olympia, WA. Started bartending when I was 21 and have worked for numerous outlets from restaurants to lounges and Las Vegas nightclubs. After working in Newport Beach, CA I moved to Las Vegas for an opportunity @ the Wynn Hotel & Resort. I started at the pool and underwent my Union apprenticeship and Union schooling. After 3 months of studying I got Certified and promoted to Bartender. In conclusion to the pool season I transferred into Blush nightclub. I had an amazing opportunity to work with our elite guests and celebrity clientele.

After living in Las Vegas for 3 yrs I returned to Washington to assist my family business and open a restaurant / bar in Olympia. When they were up and running I headed up to Seattle and found Olive 8. I have 11 yrs total service industry experience and 8 yrs of bartending experience. I am looking forward to the future and focusing my goals around a beverage management position.
