Our story

Van-Lam is the bar manager and natural wine lover. When not behind the bar she is eating some tasty food with her chef husband and listening to k-pop or watching anime or Korean dramas. If you need a fantasy or romance novel recommendation ask Van-Lam! She also hosts a romance/fantasy book club, Bangin' Bookclub.

Cameron is our assistant manager and beer buyer. When they aren't slinging craft beer and coffee behind the bar, they can be found writing on their typewriters, cooking delicious vegan meals, or giving their cat lots of love. They also host a podcast, Pod Part Deux, with their wife where they brainstorm fake movie sequels.

Kelsey is our head baker here at First Draft. She's a vintage enthusiast/Disney Adult/Star Wars fanatic who WILL talk your ear off about Rebels, so be prepared. When she's not up to her elbows in flour, you can find her tracking down new food adventures with her daughter and eating both their weights in dumplings.

Savannah is an enthusiast of all things excess, but especially the bizarre, the old, the spooky, the boozy, the tiny, and the shiny. Her spare time is usually filled with experimenting with baked goods or cocktails, writing poetry, and listening to podcasts. Ask her about Gothic Romanticism at your own risk.

When not at work Ryan may be found hiking and spending time with his wife Kalyn. Ryan also enjoys spending his time reading about and exploring topics ranging from literature, poetry, painting, and  sculpture, to matters of the human condition, to his deep love of  Dungeons and Dragons, board games, and drinking delicious beverages. 

Jonathan is the newest bartender on the First Draft team. In his free time he loves to be outside with his dog, Margot. Whether he’s hiking, playing disc golf, or reading a book on his front porch with a good beer  in hand, he’s at his happiest out in the sun.
