Ed Krajsky/General Manager "I moved to the jackson area in 1978 from Florida for a summer job and never left. I have worked for years inside both Yellowstone and Teton National Parks and I can give you a lot of ideas on some nice hikes. I have been the General Manager of the Wyoming Inn since 1998. I have a wife and a son that keep me busy when I am not at work. I love to sea kayak, hike, and climb when I get the time to do it."

Price Derrick/Resident Manager I graduated from Jacksonville State University in 1999. Since that time I have been working in the hospitality business. I am a people person and love helping guests. I moved to Jackson from Alabama where I grew up. My youth was spent on the lakes and rivers of Alabama camping, water skiing, canoeing and fishing. The mountains in Jackson allow me to enjoy my outdoor hobbies, which include skiing, running, and camping. I am also a fan of baseball and SEC football. If you have not been to the Jackson area, do yourself a favor and book a trip right now.

Armando/Front Office Manager "I'm from Mexico, but have been here for the last ten years. I love this area because it's beautiful any time of the year. I have been working for this hotel since 1999. The hotel is one of the nicest in Jackson and the people that I work with are truly a great team. My wife works occasionally in the breakfast room at the hotel. Our son loves to fish in the summer and ski in the winter. As a family, we enjoy hiking in the mountains."

Elaine/Group Sales Manager "My husband Phil and I moved to Jackson Hole from Lake Placid, NY in 1993. We have since moved to Star Valley, 48 miles south, and enjoy trail riding and camping with our horses. We also enjoy visits from our four children and eleven grandchildren scattered all over the U.S. My job also includes marketing and guest services. I came to work at the Wyoming Inn as a two month fill-in in February 2000 and I'm still here."

Joe/Breakfast Room Chef "I moved to Jackson Hole seven years ago from upstate New York, near Albany, where we ran a retail bakery, restaurant and catering business for thirty five years. After visiting the area, my wife and I decided to retire here because of the quality of life. I've been employed at the Wyoming Inn since November 2003, enjoying visiting with the guests in our breakfast room and working with a caring and hospitable staff."

Kat/Front Desk Staff I am a second generation Californian that ran away from home ten years ago. Until this recently I worked at a hotel in the Grand Teton National Park so I know the area and what it has to offer. I was so impressed after staying at the Wyoming Inn as a guest that I applied for a job two days later. I have a BA from the University of Washington.

Kay/Front Desk Staff "Twenty-eight years ago, I moved with my husband and two sons from Jefferson, Maryland to western Wyoming. Over the years, our family has enjoyed many outdoor activities, such as camping, snowmobiling, skiing, fishing, hunting, and hiking. We are now grandparents and our six grandchildren are enjoying some of these same activities too. As a family, we love the mountains, wildlife, and the beauty that surrounds our home. In the spring of 1999, I started working in the summer months at the hotel, and have enjoyed helping the many travelers from all over the world -- even if I don't speak the same language. A smile is unversal."

Linda/Front Desk Staff "I have been with the Wyoming Inn since 1998 on a part-time basis. Wyoming is in my veins. My ancestors were part of the first pioneers to settle in this area. I love the outdoors. Some of my favorite activities are riding my Arabian horses, x-country skiing, biking, gardening, and boating. My husband and I have three great kids and three beautiful granddaughters."

Jay/Night Auditor Originally from the "other side of the mountains," I remember the Jackson Hole and Yellowsone areas as backyard playgrounds. The beauty of Jackson Hole was the deciding factor for moving here. Regional history has always been an interest for me. My academic background in the social sciences has augmented my interest in regional history, generally, and Numic (Shoshonean) history, specifically. Like all previous visitors to the area, both historic and prehistoric, I hope that you will enjoy and appreciate the special beauty unique to the land in the shadow of the Tetons.

Jodie/Front Desk Staff I am from Montgomery, AL and came straight out to Wyoming after graduating from Mississippi State University in 2005. I love kayaking, hiking, camping and fishing in the summer. I spend my winters snowmobiling, and am also trying to branch out into snowboarding. I love live music, traveling, and meeting new people. But no matter where my travels take me, the beauty of the Tetons is truly unsurpassed--each sunset is so unique and inspiring. Come check it out!

Susan/Front Desk Originally from Jackson, I�ve always come back from life�s travels to my home. I graduated from the University of Utah. I used my degrees in Speech Pathology and Audiology treating children for several years before venturing into the world of business ownership. I�ve owned and operated a car detailing business, a care-taking business, a small production company, and a cleaning service. I have a son and a daughter who love to come and eat warm cookies at the Wyoming Inn. My position at the Wyoming Inn cultivates my adoration for travel and the hospitality business.

Debbie/Front Desk Staff Hi! My name is Debbie Woodward and I'm originally from Philadelphia. I moved to Jackson Hole in 1989 and have been here ever since. I love the outdoors, hiking, camping, rafting and in the winter snowboarding and show shoeing . I was a snowboard instructor for a few years so if you need any pointers, I'd be glad to help. I love Jackson and all it has to offer. I especially like sharing my love of the area with visitors so they can see what a special place Jackson is.

Tracy/Front Desk Hi I'm Tracy and I'm from Nashville, Tennessee. Since graduating from the University of Tennessee, I've really awakened my passion for travel, so when I found an opportunity to live and work in such a beautiful location as Jackson, I jumped at the chance! Its great waking up every morning and having a gorgeous mountain view any way you look. I love backpacking and hiking, and snowboarding is something I'm definitely working on! Jackson has all of this and more, I couldn't have asked for a better environment. If you have the chance, you need to get yourself out here and take advantage of everything Wyoming has to offer!

Victor/Housekeeping Supervisor "I was born November 8, 1964 in Tlaxcala, Mexico. In 1987, I moved to Blackfoot, Idaho to work on a ranch. After working there for five years, I returned to Mexico, but never gave up on my goals. Upon returning to Jackson, I started working at different jobs until I was hired by the Wyoming Inn in 1998. I am married and we have three daughters. As a family, we love to play soccer."
