Meet The Crew
Sharon O'Quinn, Store Manager - Here since the very beginning, Sharon has been selling housewares and kitchen products for 25 years. She's been an enthusiastic baker for most of her life, ever since her grandmother taught her how to bake bread. She collects vintage cookbooks, and thinks you should always eat dessert first.
Laura Rosado, Merchandising and Sales - Laura brought her West-coast style to Austin from Seattle four years ago. When she isn't watching Harry Potter or inventing new holidays, you'll find her enjoying life with her new husband, who is- you guessed it- a chef.
Tony and Melissa Curtis-Wellings- Store Owners, are the captains of the ship! They provide the direction that drives all of us to present the best products and service to you every day. You can catch them each week eating flavorful curries (love those spices!), hiking the trails with their dog Jagger, and enjoying everything Texas has to offer.
Patty Trussel, Sales - Patty comes with quite an extensive background in the food industry, from Private Chef to Head Chef. She has worked with the Girl and Boy Scouts and as an ambassador to local schools, talking about the importance of nutrition. You name it, she's cooked it!
Marci Palm, Sales - We all knew Marci for many years as a customer before she came to join us, first as a Kitchen Assistant, and then on the Sales Floor. She loves cooking, especially with her granddaughter, and always keeps us happy with her cheerful attitude!
Melanie Colpaart, Sales- Melanie's grandfather had a restaurant in Arizona, and her mother had a catering business, so she's been around cooks her whole life. She used to work with organic farmers, working to distribute their produce to local cooks- and now she brings her skills to Faraday's.
