Stephanie Nestor, Head Distiller

Stephanie comes to us from Columbus, Ohio where she acquired her degree in Food Science and Technology at The Ohio State University. Prior to returning to school, Stephanie was an officer in the United States Army in the Judge Advocate General's Corp. While stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky, Stephanie fell in love with bourbon. It's that love of bourbon that made her decide to leave the practice of law in order to make spirits.

When she's not at the distillery, Stephanie enjoys spending her time with her two children and playing board games.

Hayes J. Kelman, Owner/Founder/CEO/Distiller

Hayes spent his formative years in bars searching for the perfect Manhattan. Which explains a lot now that we think about it... As a fifth generation farmer, Hayes has always looked for new manners of vertical integration and new uses for the grain he and his team grows.

Lee Griiffith, Director of Sales

Lee has been with the Distillery almost since the beginning, giving tours at the grand opening in 2016. He didn't officially join the Boot Hill Distillery team until 2017 after a nearly two-decade-long career in the car business as a service and parts advisor and manager.

You'll mostly see him traveling the state, sharing our spirits at events and tastings. If you see the Distillery Jeep out in the wild, take a pic and send it to him!

Lee has a long-time background in the retail liquor business and bartending. In addition, he is a member of the Depot Theater Company of Dodge City, serving in both on- and off-stage roles.

His favorite drink? Red Eye Whiskey neat.
