Meet His People

While in school, Beau gained invaluable experience working at Auberge Resorts at The Inn at Palmetto Bluff.  Three years later, he moved to Columbia and accepted the position of Executive Chef at The Members Club of WildeWood and Woodcreek.  He was enticed back to the coast to work as part of the opening team for the 200-room hotel, Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, SC, and was later promoted to Chef de Cuisine where he led the opening of the resort’s restaurant, Coles.  In May, 2019, Beau moved to Greenville to be closer to family and accepted the position of Executive Chef with Table 301 and The Lazy Goat.

Beau’s culinary passion stems from his love for creating and sharing delicious meals with family and friends.  He embraces this same passion in his professional career, whether he’s serving guests in the restaurant, catering a special celebration on The Lazy Goat outdoor patio or planning and preparing dinner for a 200-guest wedding party.  Providing dining experiences that exceed the guest’s expectations is the key.

During his spare time, Beau enjoys spending time with his fiancée, Stephanee and their three children.  He also holds a 3-degree blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu and is an avid football fan – rooting for his alma mater University of South Carolina’s Gamecocks and the Dallas Cowboys.

A position with Darden Restaurant Group and Yard House allowed him to travel across the country helping to open new locations.  When his extended family began to move away from the west coast, he requested a transfer “as far east” as possible.  In 2015, he landed in Greenville, SC, (sight unseen!) and soon after was offered a general manager position with Mac’s Speed Shop.  In 2019, he joined the Table 301 team working first at Soby’s and now as general manager of The Lazy Goat, where he oversees all operations and associates.

For Ken, the experience is what it’s all about.  “I’m driven to offer guests a memorable dining experience – from the moment they walk through the door everything should be unforgettable in the best of ways.”

One of Ken’s interests and longtime goals is to become a Certified Cicerone or beer expert.  He was able to teach beer classes at some of his past jobs and continues to build his knowledge about the brewing industry.  When he’s not working, he’s tackling his “honey-do” list at home with his wife, Becca, and spending time with their two children.  He loves playing guitar and, on occasion, stretching out for a long nap on the couch.

“I always say that working in the hospitality industry requires you to have a real passion for people,” says Courtney. “Through my work, I’m able to provide exceptional experiences for the important milestones in people’s lives which gives me great pleasure.”

Born and raised in Ft. Wayne, IN, Courtney moved to Ohio for her college education, starting in the school’s nursing program but eventually graduating with a communications degree. After graduation, she headed to Greenville, SC, landing a job as Venue Sales Manager at Cigar Warehouse/High Spirits Hospitality. She gained valuable experience in this position planning weddings, working corporate and social events, and large city festivals like euphoria and Fall for Greenville.

Two years later, she accepted a position with Larkins Catering and Events as Event Sales Specialist which offered her more responsibility selling parties at the company’s venues, restaurants, and offsite catering sites. It was here that she gained knowledge about event florals, custom menus, and how to create all-inclusive experiences for her clients. Several years later, she left Larkins and took a position with ClubCorp as Director of Membership at the Commerce Club, where she sold memberships until the company closed in March 2021.

Courtney joined Table 301 and The Lazy Goat in April 2021. Married to her college sweetheart, Courtney enjoys teaching boot camp and cycle classes. Her Australian Shepard and Pomeranian Papillion mix pups always keep her and her husband busy. And, of course, they love keeping up with the restaurant scene in downtown Greenville.
