Meet the Team

---

In his free time, Sam likes to play video games with his brothers, hang out with his dogs (Chip and Ash), play pickleball,  and go to church on Sundays. His passion for excellence is what The Wildemount's philosophies were based on. 

A graduate from Helm's College, talented chef, and Skyrim fanatic, Lee is an amazing team member at The Wildemount. From cutting shallots at the speed of light to carefully crafting never-seen-before menu compositions, Lee does it all in the kitchen! 

If he isn't washing dishes, Elijah is probably in his notes app writing down ideas for his book he will some day write. He always keeps up with sidework in the kitchen and helps the chefs wherever he can! (He also stays laughing, this kid is hilarious.)

Chrissy is always doodling or drawing something. She is seriously so talented. But she can also keep up with the weekend rush of dishes! If you ever need quirky music recommendations, you can always rely on her! 

Dungeons & Dragons nerd, horseback rider, and server. Matthew sets the standard in Aiken for service and hospitality in the front of house. No matter how busy we are, Matthew is sure to always make you feel welcome! 

A student of psychology and binger of Netflix (or Hulu), Payton is always busy! But when she is at your table, you have her full attention. Her smile and charm will make you feel welcome and like you're in your own dining room! 

Emma is a professional horseback rider at heart, but she has a background in food service and her ability to adapt to any role at The Wildemount is irreplaceable. You might have seen her at your table, but she also probably garnished your dinner or caramelized the sugar for your crème brûlée!
