Brett Allais loves food; it’s in his DNA. Born in South Africa, his grandfather was a professional chef, and he fondly recalls baking with his mother at a young age. As our Director of Culinary Services, Chef Brett brings a wealth of international culinary knowledge and skills to the table. He is French-trained and dabbles in six styles of cuisine, always works from scratch and enjoys infusing flavors and creates “rustic-fusion cuisine.” Chef Brett’s goal is simple: to serve home-cooked dishes that make senior residents feel comfortable and bring back memories but also incorporate surprising new flavors.
Christy is the first face guests see when they walk through our doors. As Sopris Lodge’s receptionist/concierge, Christy greets our residents and visitors with a smile, helps them navigate our campus, and answers any questions they may have. A Denver area native and Roaring Fork Valley resident of four years, Christy recently transitioned to a career in senior living after spending 15 years as an art educator in public schools. Christy holds a BFA in studio art and a master’s degree in art education. She believes in the power of artmaking to heal through joy and celebration of the visual sense perception. When not at work, Christy is busy raising two children and experiments in the realm of collage, painting, oil, encaustic and printmaking. For Christy, being our concierge is a natural continuation of her love of service and an opportunity to learn from those further down the road of life.
