My talented husband, Dave, is a woodshop teacher and built the bars, benches, and coffee tables you'll see at Lucky's. I am a mother of two lovely teenage daughters whom you will likely meet at Lucky’s. I’ve worked for the forest service, and driven across this great country many times. I’ve been a freelance artist, a seamstress, and a meat cutter. I’ve worked in an ER, then in hospital administration, and in management.
My interests are varied to be sure. I went to college for Geology and Art, I’ve managed a deli and a restaurant, which eventually led me to owning a café/coffee shop in Oregon in the late 1990s serving pourover coffee exclusively. My experience is long and varied and reads more like a bucket list than a resumé. I believe that the sum of people’s experiences makes them who they are and that EVERYTHING is a transferrable skill. I am over the moon about this location and am VERY excited to share it with you.
