Lindsay is new to the Charlotte dining scene but brings over 10 years of hospitality experience from Charlottesville, VA, and New Orleans, LA, where she spent the last six years. During her time in New Orleans, she rose into management at the Ace Hotel, running multiple bar programs and curating wine and cocktail lists for four restaurants and bars. She also earned her Level One Certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers. Her passion for wine continues to grow, and she believes it should be approachable and fun, especially when helping people discover what they enjoy. In January 2025, Lindsay helped open two new restaurant concepts, building out their wine and bar programs before continuing to manage day-to-day front-of-house operations. She loves being hands-on during service and treats every night like a party she is hosting, making sure every guest leaves happy.

Lindsay moved to Charlotte in late 2025 to be closer to family. In her free time, she enjoys being an aunt to her nieces and nephews, spending time outdoors with her dog, reading, doing puzzles, enjoying a good pot of tea, and adding to her prized collection of cardigans and sweaters.

When cooking, he draws on experiences that began with his roots in East Texas, which he calls one of the best melting pots of cuisine in the country. After circumnavigating the globe in the United States Navy, it was seeing how food brought people together, transcending cultural and language barriers, that led to a passion for the food and hospitality industry. For over a decade he worked in the front-of-house, with some intermittent stints in kitchens, then seriously committed to his passion of cooking by attending Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, TX in 2014. Having cooked in San Diego, Austin, and New York City, he has spent several years cutting his teeth in the Charlotte culinary scene. He is thrilled to join Foxcroft Waverly  and see what kind of Mediterranean inspired fare he and his team can create!
