Jon DeSalvo brings a wealth of restaurant experience, having owned the Willow Lake Tavern in Louisville, as well as most recently opening a Beef O'Brady's in Southern Indiana.  Jon oversees the back of the house operations at the Bard's Town.

Scot Atkinson returned to Louisville from Abingdon, VA, where he worked professionally for the Barter Theatre.  Scot works as Artistic Director for the theatre.
