Oak Park Employees & Ownership
Billy DohrmannDIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
- As printed As an Iowa native, Billy Dohrmann grew up learning about vegetable gardening from his grandparents who worked a farm in the eastern part of the state. This appreciation for food and where it comes from translated naturally to the restaurant industry. As a student in Des Moines, Billy worked at a casual local restaurant for a short stint. Soon after, he moved to Los Angeles for a post-high school education in the film production industry. After leaving southern California and spending a couple of years in Chicago, Billy returned to Des Moines and to the restaurant scene. It was while working in the fine dining realm that Billy discovered a deeper appreciation for food and the culinary arts. He also discovered his passion for genuine hospitality and the art of service. It’s these meaningful skills that he brings to the daily operations of Oak Park. But it’s his roots in eastern Iowa that make Billy uniquely qualified to plan and work the restaurant’s onsite garden.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 11, 2026, 4:41 PM UTC

Carly DascoliWINE DIRECTOR
- As printed Carly grew up in the mountain town of Estes Park, Colorado, where she first discovered her love of hospitality at 16, working as a hostess at a neighborhood Italian restaurant. What began as a summer job soon became something deeper—she learned the essentials of service, the joy of creating memorable experiences, and was introduced to the world of wine. Even as she pursued a degree in graphic design and marketing, Carly found herself returning again and again to restaurants, drawn to their energy and connection. Over the years, Carly explored a variety of roles in hospitality and beyond, from non-profits to retail to river cruises. But wine remained a constant thread, her curiosity and appreciation growing with every experience. After working in two wine bars and as a wedding event manager, she arrived in Des Moines at the height of COVID and began searching for a wine-focused opportunity. She found it in fine dining, first at Table 128, where she fell in love with the balance of food, wine, and service, and then at Harbinger, where she was invited to take over the wine program. In early 2024, Carly completed the Court of Master Sommeliers Introductory Sommelier Course, and by the spring of 2025 she became a Certified Sommelier. Today, as Wine Director, she brings an unpretentious approach to wine, curating a program that reflects both her adventurous spirit and her belief that the best pairings happen when the wine and the dish "hug"...enhancing one another, while creating something even more beautiful together.

Chris EmehiserSOUS CHEF
- As printed Chris has always been drawn to the work of making something with his hands. Growing up in Des Moines, he spent time in the workshop alongside his father, building, shaping, figuring out how things fit together. That same instinct eventually pulled him into the kitchen, where he discovered a different kind of craft: the process of taking simple ingredients and turning them into something worth remembering. His first taste of the industry came as a food runner at an Italian restaurant in high school, where the pace of the kitchen got his attention and kept it. After spending a few years in Florida following graduation, he returned to Iowa in 2016 to be closer to family and continued building his career in the kitchen with the same methodical focus he brought to everything else. What drives Chris as a cook is curiosity. His measure of a great dish is simple: does it pull you in for another bite, and does it make you wonder how it was made? That question, how was it made, is the one he has been chasing ever since he first stepped behind the line.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 11, 2026, 4:41 PM UTC

Damon Murphygeneral manager
- As printed Born and raised in Mankato, Minnesota, Damon Murphy came to live in Iowa by way of Iowa State University. To put himself through school, he did what so many students find themselves doing, and worked as a server in a local restaurant. What he didn’t expect to find, however, was a love affair with the industry. In the fall of his sophomore year, Damon changed his major to Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management. Damon’s first professional job was working alongside a family friend who had 30+ years of industry experience – a man who took Damon under his wing and become a mentor. Both brash and complimenting, he taught Damon the profound importance and absolute value of attention to detail. From the architecturally inspired table settings to the gold standard in sommelier skills, Damon treats every guest at Oak Park to a master class in why the details matter.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 11, 2026, 4:41 PM UTC

Ian RobertsonEXECUTIVE CHEF
- As printed Ian Robertson’s fascination with food started at an early age. When he was four years old and living in Malaysia, his family frequented the street markets, lined with vendors selling spices and indigenous foods. It was customary to purchase a live chicken and take it to the butcher to be dressed while gathering the remaining groceries for that night’s meal. Ian’s family spent several years living in other countries, including Scotland, Benin, and France. Every place provided a renewed interest in food and how different cultures prepare dishes. Something as universal as chicken can be done thousands of ways. In 2005, Ian began his formal training at Gregoire Ferrandi Paris, an internationally recognized school of culinary arts. The following year, he moved to Bray just outside London and worked as a Culinary Stagiaire at The Fat Duck alongside chef Leandros Stagogiannis. It was there that chef Stagogiannis taught Ian how to open his mind, question everything, and create with love. After a year of traveling, Ian came stateside and landed at Chicago’s prestigious two-Michelin-starred fine dining establishment – Tru. As Chef de Partie, Ian worked under chef Anthony Martin who Ian credits with teaching him how to stay calm in the heat of service and pushing him to help others in the kitchen. Ian spent the next several years in Chicago, rapidly working his way up in the kitchen. From 2012 to 2016, Ian oversaw the back of the house operations at a variety of establishments in Iowa, honing his skills in menu and recipe development. It was also during that time that Ian met his significant other, Jess, an aspiring pastry chef. In 2017, after Jess returned from working at Eleven Madison Park in New York, it was Ian’s turn in The Big Apple. This time, Jess took care of their kids while Ian took on the role of Executive Sous Chef at abc kitchen. A year later, a move to Chicago landed the couple at the landmark Deer Path Inn on the city’s prestigious North Shore – Ian as the Executive Sous Chef and Jess as Pastry Consultant. With decades of experience in AAA 5 Diamond and Michelin-star rated restaurants, Ian brings his Cristal-and-caviar taste and Midwest sensibilities to Oak Park. As Executive Chef, Ian is focused on building a place where people feel at home. “To be able to give them the freshest product possible in the best place to experience life’s joys is what keeps me up at night and wakes me up in the morning.” Chef's TeamPublished by the company · confirmed Oct 11, 2026, 4:41 PM UTC

Jarred ClarkSOUS CHEF
- As printed Jarred jokes that having a high metabolism and being hungry is what led him to pursue the culinary industry – a path he nearly discontinued early in his career. Turns out, working in the kitchen at a bar in downtown Des Moines was not the motivation he needed. But when an opportunity at the award-winning, upscale neighborhood restaurant Alba surfaced, Jarred reconsidered. With a couple of local chefs at the helm, it was their creativity and organization that inspired Jarred to continue down the chef path. Mentor Chef Lynn Pritchard, a well-respected member of the industry, later set Jarred up with short stages at such acclaimed restaurants as Stone Barns and Flora Street Café. Now a sous chef at Oak Park, Jarred is putting the restaurant’s state-of-the-art kitchen equipment to the test. With the Chef’s Table as his focus, Jarred is pushing his creative freedom to new levels, no doubt satisfying a long-standing insatiable culinary hunger.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 11, 2026, 4:41 PM UTC

Jess RobertsonEXECUTIVE PASTRY CHEF
- As printed Growing up, Jess would occasionally help out at her mom’s restaurant – Dunners in Sheldon, Iowa. Jess expanded her baking skills by learning pastries in such fine dining restaurants as Baru 66 in Windsor Heights. It was there that she met husband and Executive Chef Ian Robertson. Having spent time honing her craft, and starting a family, Jess eventually mustered up enough courage to apply to Michelin-starred restaurants, including Thomas Keller establishments, and the critically acclaimed Eleven Madison Park in New York City. Jess accepted a position at Eleven Madison Park, but had to go alone. Unable to afford the move with the whole family, Ian stayed back and took care of their two children. After leaving Eleven Madison Park, and having their third baby, Jess moved to Scotland with all three kids and her mother-in-law. She worked at The Peat Inn, another Michelin-starred restaurant, located near St. Andrews. At the same time, Ian was working and growing his culinary career in New York City. After years of mutual sacrifice and long distances, the family reunited in Chicago. Jess went back to school earning a business degree while simultaneously teaching herself how to temper chocolate. This led the cake-decorater-turned-pastry-chef to start a small chocolate operation out of their apartment. Now at Oak Park, Jess delights diners with desserts that are as luxurious as they are lovely to look at with flavors that are familiar yet totally unexpected. Her epic confections are pieces of art and, as you might have guessed, are the perfect punctuation to anything Ian makes. Chef's TeamPublished by the company · confirmed Oct 11, 2026, 4:41 PM UTC

Lea FitzgeraldGUEST RELATIONS MANAGER
- As printed Lea developed her passion for hospitality at a young age while serving coffee and cakes at her great-grandmother's 90th birthday celebration. This heartfelt experience of connecting with family and friends through food ignited her love for the restaurant industry. As she grew older, she continued to work in restaurants throughout high school and college, balancing her job with her studies to earn a degree in Human Services and Psychology. After some time away, she returned to the industry, driven by a desire to immerse herself in the culture and hospitality that it offers. What draws her to the restaurant profession is the unique blend of problem-solving opportunities and the joy of working with diverse individuals. She believes in managing collaboratively, enhancing group experiences, and cherishing the moments of celebrating life with great food and loved ones. Throughout her career, Lea has been fortunate to work alongside influential mentors, notably Mike Utley and Scott Carlson at Americana. Their guidance instilled in her the importance of fostering an inclusive, family-like culture that prioritizes the journeys of both staff and patrons. Now at Oak Park, she is excited to continue to cultivate the amazing culture and community that Oak Park is dedicated to, striving to make it one of the best dining experiences around. Her commitment to excellence and community is at the heart of everything she does.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 11, 2026, 4:41 PM UTC

Richard MayBAR MANAGER
- As printed Richard’s passion for the restaurant industry can best be summed up by a series of very fortunate events. An Iowa native, Richard moved to Las Vegas when he was 21 and needed a job. Luckily, the restaurant where his cousin worked was looking for a busser. On his first night, Richard got to help take care of Dennis Hopper and his wife. His second restaurant job was with a brand-new establishment – an experience that solidified his enthusiasm for opening new shops. Richard’s love of food is recalled in the rack of lamb at The Blue Lion in Jackson, Wyoming; the cioppino at Ray’s Waterfront in Alaska; the High Mountain Trout with Sauco berries at an unsuspecting side-street café in Cusco, Peru; the impromptu Thanksgiving potluck on his first night in Los Barriles, Mexico, with 15 friends he had never met before; his grandma’s Christmas Eve oyster stew and chili; his other grandma’s homemade biscotti. These places, dishes, and people have stuck with Richard over the years. But it’s the event that took place in 2022 that altered the course of his life. For the last 20 years, Richard had been living in Omaha, now bartending at a well-revered restaurant in the city’s Old Market neighborhood. One night, regulars Kathy and Bill came in for dinner and told Richard their plans to open a restaurant. It was then that Kathy asked if Richard wanted to move to Des Moines. Realizing they were serious, Richard was faced with a big decision and opportunity. He recalls asking the couple why they wanted to get into the restaurant industry. Within five seconds of hearing their vision and the passion with which they spoke, Richard was hook, line, and sinker. Running the bar program at Oak Park is like mixing a well-crafted drink. Richard blends his thoughtful understanding of what the Oak Park team is striving to accomplish, the hospitality skills he learned from a gentleman named Orloff, and the personal desire to be part of something truly remarkable. They are equal parts of an important whole – Oak Park – and what Richard describes as a thing of beauty.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 11, 2026, 4:41 PM UTC
