Jewel is and has been many things - a successful business owner, a wife, a mother, a server, a line cook, a hostess, and (unrelated to her long-standing career in hospitality), a radio personality. But she was always drawn to the fast paced craziness that thrives in the restaurant business. Being the daughter of an entrepreneur, she knew it was in her blood to forge her own path in an industry she so admired. While working at Cuba Libre Cafe, she seized the opportunity to develop their catering program. Jewel quickly realized her vision of meeting her client’s catering needs: lots of restaurants and lots of wonderful food. She loved her first event even more than the restaurant life and the rest is history! Outside of work, Jewel loves spending time with her husband, Marcus, and their 4 beautiful children. As a family they attend Watermark Community Church. Jewel loves Jesus, puzzles, escape rooms and movies… lots of movies.
Marcus built and operated Cuba Libre's catering division from the very beginning with Jewel, and was instrumental in all points of growth with Cohost. He is currently responsible for all office/building/fleet projects. He fancies himself an amateur mechanic and handy man and is good at fixing just about anything that needs a little attention in the warehouse. As the official Schmoozer, he makes sure that our hosts and guests are care free, well fed, armed with a drink, and enjoying the event. He doesn’t spend a ton of time outside of work, but while he's here he sure likes to sing..... loudly. Marcus & Jewel are also married with four awesome young kids. It is all an adventure!
Brittany gained her Food and Beverage experience working in chain restaurants while pursuing higher education. With a passion for serving others, she eventually found a like-minded group here at Cohost. Here she takes charge of Human Resources, Accounting and like one hundred other things. Thanks, Brittany- We salute you. When she's not being a total boss in the office, Brittany enjoys spending time with her husband and their dogs, eating great food and spending time at the lake.
As a young server, Shingi earned his stripes at Olive Garden and progressed through the ranks- eventually managing several eateries over the years. Following a brief detour in the world of automobile sales his path crossed with Cohost and the rest is history. His appreciation for detail, love of food, and ability to lead and inspire have all made him the perfect fit for the management team at Cohost. Outside of work Shingi enjoys the crisp, refreshing taste of White Claw and binge-watching Taylor Swift Live specials.
At Cohost, Rebecca develops relationships with Restaurants, Venues, and Clients. She increases engagement with our brand, styles our showroom, photographs our events, and finds herself constantly zhuzhing up food stations and table settings. Her passion for all-things food & hospitality, and her eye for design have made for the perfect pairing with Cohost. Outside of work, Rebecca enjoys spending time with her husband and brood of feral children, cooking, and pretending she’s on a beach somewhere.
Justin got his start in the hospitality industry in 2008 and it was love at first bite. He transitioned from working in restaurants to the catering world in 2019. He now finds himself connecting with clients of all backgrounds and styles to flawlessly coordinate the perfect menu, event rentals, and service. As a dreamer, bringing a client's vision to life comes naturally to him and we're lucky he decided to dream along with us! When he's not in the office or out visiting venues, he's probably playing piano, singing karaoke, writing music, or painting the town.
Ashley expertly guides our clients through the billing process, making sure deposits are received and event dates are locked in! Ashley pursued her love of the events industry in an event management position at a beautiful North Texas venue where she was able to hone her skills. She is passionate about event styling and super knowledgable about all things planning and behind the scenes of weddings and big events. Ashley is a mom of 3, has a servant’s heart and loves volunteering with the youth group at her church. She earned her degree in Accounting from UNT and has found the perfect place to hang her diploma- right here in our office!
C.J. expertly organizes and packs each and every item that leaves our warehouse. She orchestrates inventory, fulfillment and is always happy jump in anywhere else her skills are needed. She helps to support and lead our warehouse crew which helps keep both the catering and rentals sides of the business running smoothly. C.J. would tell you (and we'd have to agree) that she loves and takes pride in having a hand in helping Cohost thrive. Loves: Italian food, cheese. Hates: Anything spicy. CJ is currently earning her degree in Hospitality and Restaurant Management and we can't wait to see what the future has in store for her!
Riana helps make sure our days are organized, our events are on track, and our team is feeling the positive vibes. She began with Cohost as an excellent bartender, and now finds herself behind the bar and behind the scenes with us. She's always ready to lend a helping hand and jump in wherever she's needed- a true team player. She loves all aspects of catering, but specifically enjoys weddings and milestone events because being a part of someone's special life-long memories is such a rewarding feeling. She's a mom of 3 and her children drive her to be the best that she can be.
In addition to helping keep all our I's dotted and T's crossed, Laura assists our regular clients in finding the perfect restaurant and menu to satisfy their appetites. She remembers the who, what, when and the "we really love," of each and every regular! She has impeccable attention to detail and always makes sure our loyal patrons and cared for and fed well.
