Jen’s first encounter with the Restaurant business was as a 15 year old in a dying Friendly’s 

located in small town Vermont.  The manager was either never there or drinking whiskey in his office. (The good old days) There was only one line cook, Chuck, and Jen, serving a full restaurant, seating, serving, busing, and cashing folks out.  Jen was hooked.  Since that day, her mission was to become a Bar Manager, which she achieved in multiple locations on her way to land in Charleston, SC.  She met her husband and they opened their first location, Voodoo, and achieved a bit of success.  Riding on that, they opened the Tattooed Moose and never looked back.  They have opened three locations and are working on a fourth in the next couple years. During all the adventures they’ve added two children and 3 dogs to their lives.  Never a dull moment!
