Kent - Our fearless leader, the C.E.O (Cheese Eating
Oenophile), grand fromage, or as we like to call
him, "the big cheese". After all,
he was born in the Year Of The Rat. Kent
joined The Cheese Shop in 1986 and has never looked
back. When you catch him behind the counter,
you're in for a real treat. All you ever
wanted to know about cheese and more ...
(yes, it's in his blood as he has not one, but
two parents who are teachers). Kent also
takes the show on the road to many events across
the country where he pairs cheese and wine for
a delectable tasting! |

Lisa– Office Manager/Bookkeeper – A long time employee on her second tour of duty with us, Lisa maintains and manages the daily offices chores, as well as trouble shooting any computer gaffs that arise (look, I’m so old, I learned computers in the punch card era)! She also over sees all the currencies that come both in and go out! The Cheese Shop has clients in all 50 states and 20 countries, and you can see the different currencies (some no longer in use) when you visit our store in Carmel. Do Russian Rubles circa 1961 still work?!?! |

Adam-Hailing from the 209 (Stockton) part of California originally, Adam is both working for us while attending MPC, with an eye towards wine and viticulture as a field. Adam has had the chance with family and friends to work in the wine-biz, getting his feet wet (we hope not by stomping on the grapes à la Lucille Ball) working for some wineries over the last several years. Come seek out Adam's recommendations for both great wines & cheeses to go with them!

Brian H. is possibly the quietest member of our family, but don't let his whispered tones fool you as he very personable. (Ladies, it's the quiet ones you need to look out for!!) As CSI's Gourmet buyer, Brian is equally knowledgeable about our large cheese array, as well as our gastronomic delicacies. And if he's not behind the tasting counter, you might find him behind our Wine Bar, as his knowledge of wines has expanded exponentially over the past five years. |

Mademoiselle Katie has a dual interest with CSI.first there's us (Cheese Shop Inc) as she has been one of many wonderful CSUMB students to work with us while attending school. But next she has an interest in another CSI to come into her life.that of pursuing a career as a Criminal Science Investigator! So come check out her knife skills on our cheeses (this surely helps in her lab studies) and ask her what wines to help keep you off her future worktable!! |

Lauren-
One of our newest employees to join CSI just in time for the holidays, Lauren is an active college student, back off to complete her freshman year with a volleyball scholarship at University of Great Falls, and looking Business Administration as a potential career. We know you will look forward as we do to her return in the summer. And though her last name is BROSSEAU, we have yet to determine if she is related to the famed vineyards in the Chalone AVA of Monterey County. Hey, we might be able to get some family discount if she is. |

Madeleine-
One could say that this young freshman of St. Andrew's University in Scotland, has really been an employee of ours since.well, the Labor board might not be thrilled.let us just say a LONG time. Her Mom, Rima Crow, is one of Monterey's finest caterers, so Madeleine's birthright is flowing with scents, colors, and flavors of the finest cuisines the world has to offer! And though she's back off to Scotland, we look forward to her return this summer, and Uncle Kent is still hoping she can get him onto St. Andrews Old Course once before she graduates!!! |

Another college student, you can find Ryan with us during breaks from going to U. of North Texas, as this young man is an aspiring Jazz/Classical bassist of the first degree. You may even catch him performing locally.Ahhh, so that's why he looks so tired when he shows for work!
