Kieran Laursen
Joining our team in 2022, Kieran quickly made an impression earning him Employee of the Year for 2024, alongside Justin Mitchell.
Justin was able to join us in Fall of 2024, and now for this Fall 2025, we were able to schedule Kieran.
Kieran is a talented and passionate cook, who works well with the brigade and his chefs. With nothing but potential and commitment, we are happy to invest in Kierans future with our Maison Meritage program.
