Founder, former owner, and present associate manager. I have been in the hospitality industry since 1965, when I co-owned The Easy Does It Bar in Chicago. I moved permanently to Aspen in 1970 and worked at The Red Onion, The Jerome B. Wheeler Public House, The Aspen Inn Nightclub, The Mother Lode and Galena Street East. Along with three friends, I bought the Kenny's Pharmacy building in Carbondale, Colorado in 1980. In 1984 I opened the Pour House with my friend and partner Billy Graham. In a few years Billy had other directions he wanted to go so I assumed his interest. In 2005 I sold the building and the business to my good friends John Martin and Sue Rodgers, both local ranchers and business people. Their intent was to preserve the history of the valley that is represented on the walls of The Pour House. Part of the arrangement was that I would remain as manager, which was just fine with me. The restaurant business will always be a deep part of me. I love meeting people and watching them enjoy themselves in my establishment. The eclectic nature of The Pour House is amazing. From REAL COWBOYS to wealthy business tycoons and philanthropists and artists, the people watching is worth the time.
