Brennan Meighan

My name is Brennan Meighan. I recently graduated the University of Washington Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science with a major in computer science and a minor in music. While the last four years of my life have been spent working towards this achievement, I'm ready to move on and pursue the things I'm truly passionate about. One of those things is food and drinks. I love cooking more than anything in the world, and I've spent years pushing myself to be the best cook I can be. Additionally, I've always been very interested in the world of drinksmanship, and my employment at Matthews Winery & From the Sky Down has made me all the more excited and eager. As for myself, I have leadership skills, I'm incredibly hard-working, I pick things up very fast, I work very well with others, I'm organized, I can handle any situation thrown at me, and I can always do what needs to be done when it needs to be done. I'm ready to put my skills to good use.

Work Experience

Busser / Greeter

Matthews Winery & From the Sky Down - Woodinville, WA

I greet and welcome guests when they come in the door with conversation and a splash of wine, I seat said guests and organize who gets sat where and why, I take care of all the glasses used throughout the day, I help out the servers with whatever they need, I maintain a clean and efficient work environment, and I learn as much as I can from my coworkers every day.

Busser / Host

Piatti - Seattle, WA Autumn 2025 I was almost always the sole busser and host for the entire 200-capacity restaurant each shift. Duties included bussing, cleaning, and resetting tables, seating and watering guests, assembling and running all bread orders, and generally assisting the wait and kitchen staff.
