Pizza People. Party Pros.

Ryan has always been the life of the party! He was born and raised in Minneapolis, MN, where his true passion for throwing pizza parties really kicked off. He brought his electric energy & party pants to Denver in 2012 when he attended University of Denver. By the time his junior year rolled around, he was already making plans for how to make Mountain Crust a dream come true. All these years later, he’s still livin’ the pizza dream and leading our team with the same electric energy!

Kendall is a true artist, choosing food as his medium! He is creative in every way, especially when it comes to choosing his outfits for the day. He’s not only passionate about serving people the best dishes, but making each dish with as many local ingredients as possible. After 15 years of experience in the restaurant world, Mountain Crust is lucky to have him leading the charge in our kitchen and on our team.

Nico joined the Mountain Crust team in 2018. Starting out as an intern while studying at the University of Denver, she quickly rose the ranks as one of our most passionate & dedicated team members! Even though she despises bacon (wtf!), we always appreciate Nico’s enthusiasm for all things cheese and all things pizza! As we embark on a new journey with our own venue, Mountain Crust Event Venue, we’re very lucky to have Nico as our venue manager.

Kath joined the MC team in 2019 when we plucked her from the monotony of the corporate world. Taking her unofficial title as “Pizza Party Aficionado” very seriously, you can always expect to find Kath out on the dance floor or running around double fisting pizzas at your event! Other than partying it up with our clients, Kath is either working behind the scenes at MC HQ or obsessing over her puppy Kevin.

Kai joined MC in 2022. We barely remember what this pizza life was like before him! He brings his bright smile and good vibes everywhere he goes – whether he’s traveling around in his van, making amazing art, or slicin’ up that hot zaa! You can find him at Mountain Crust Event Venue - building things (and fixing the things we break!), planting, gardening, basically ensuring our venue is the best in the biz!

Another DU intern converted to full timer! Ethan started his MC journey in 2019 and has been an integral part of our pizza fam ever since. We know we can always count on Ethan to throw an epic pizza party! From making sure events run smoothly to making sure our employees are happy, he’s on top of it all. If you’re lucky enough to have Ethan at your event just know that you can expect top of the line service and a night to remember!

Sarah Golden is just that – our Golden Gal! She joined our team in 2020 and our lives have been brighter ever since. Sarah is an essential part of our kitchen team; she brings all the smiles and tons of experience to our kitchen. When she’s not prepping in the kitchen, you can find her making incredible charcuterie boards at events – she’s the best charcuterie artist we’ve got!

Aidan joined the Mountain Crusties in 2023. After chefin’ it up in Montana on a ranch, he was ready for something different…and what could be more different than Mountain Crust?! Aidan has brought new life into our kitchen and to our menu. His talents are impossible to ignore! If you’ve ever enjoyed any bite of Mountain Crust, you can shoutout Aidan for keepin’ it real in the kitchen!

Noe joined the MC team in 2020 and showed us what speed really means! He’s the fastest chef we’ve ever had in our kitchen. He’s a true magician when it comes to prepping all of our tasty food! You can always count on Noe to bring good vibes to the kitchen and to events. When he’s not chefin’ it up at work, he’s always making something new & tasty for late night munchies at home too!

Scooter has been with Mountain Crust for a few years now and WOW are we glad we have him on our team! Scooter is a front of house beast! Not only does he manage sales for our catering side of our business, he throws some of the most epic pizza parties known to humankind! If Scooter is your event lead, just know you’re in for a damn good time with one of the happiest humans on Earth!

Whitney joined the Crusties in 2024 and quickly won over our hearts with her bubbly, excited, and loving energy! She is a true pizza party aficionado; she can make gorgeous pizzas, rip on the hot oven, and even bust some incredible dance moves while passing out dessert. Whitney is guaranteed to bring the good vibes wherever she goes and lemme tell you folks - she's goin' places!

Disser is yet another one of our University of Denver recruits! Starting out as an intern through the hospitality school, we were lucky enough to have Disser join our team full time as soon as he graduated in 2023. We’re pretty sure he loves Mountain Crust as much as he loves video games, but the jury is still out on which passion is the real winner! Disser does a bit of everything at MC – one thing you can always count on from Diss is his incredible friendly and fun-loving attitude at our events!

Elora is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet! As one of our kitchen all-stars, we wouldn’t have so many delicious creations without them and we definitely wouldn’t have as much fun at work without them either! If you’ve ever had an incredible and creative salad dressing or our homemade cinnamon buns, you can thank Elora for that amazing tasty experience!

Matt joined our pizza fam in 2023, making his way into our hearts immediately with his heart of gold demeanor, sick chef skills, and his true pizzaiolo expertise! He has brought so much creativity into our kitchen; from new takes on classic pizza toppings to new appetizers to delicious staff meals. At this point, we’d be missing a piece of our hearts and souls without Matt’s beautiful energy around!

Yet another DU Alum! Sebastian, affectionately known as Seabass, originally joined the Mountain Crust fam when he was an intern in the summer of 2021. We’re beyond stoked that he has stuck around all these years later! He is a jack of all trades on our team – he packs our trucks, he manages our warehouse, he runs events, he really does it all!

Tati joined the Crusty Crew in 2024. She's brought an incredible work ethic, her creativity, and her extremely witty humor to our kitchen and event teams right from the start. We consider ourselves the luckiest people alive to be able to enjoy Tati's cooking on a regular basis - if you've had the chance to try our food at our Field to Fork dinners or at events, you know exactly how we feel!

Janae joined the team in 2024 as one of our incredible Venue Managers! She came in hot with lots of good ideas and an incredible eye for all things design. She’s a wizard on social media and hosts weekly Wellness Wednesday's at our venue - giving our team the time & space to unwind in between all the pizza party chaos! Janae is just about the sweetest human you’ll ever meet – when you see her crushing day of coordination or giving tours of our venue any day of the week, make sure to say hi!

Where to start with Spencer…WHAT A GUY! He joined the Mtn Crusties full time in 2024 to manage our entire beverage program. No easy task! But Spencer is a beast so it’s really just a walk in the park for him. Or more of a bike in the park actually – when he steps out from behind the bar, he’s a pro cyclist and we just love that about him! We’re so lucky to have Spencer mixin’ up drinks at our venue and at off-site catering events too!

Brandi joined the Mountain Crust team in 2024 and she's been an absolute weapon for our bartending team ever since. You can find her slingin' drinks and chattin' with guests at our venue and at off-site events too. Fair warning, she will ask you about your zodiac sign and she will be able to read you like a book based on your answer. Make sure to ask Brandi for a signature cocktail and a good story while she makes it for you too!
