Jeff & Diane Knepper

Jeff & Diane bought the J & D Mart in 1998. In 2000 they started J & D Catering & Sweets in the same location.  Over the past 20+ years they have been striving to meet and exceed client's expectations! What started as a new business opportunity for two individuals who were trying to make a fresh start, has developed into a business of love and desire to be a part of your most meaningful life events.

In his “spare time”, Jeff can be found on any golf course around! He also enjoys the simple things in life including his penny collection and a good cup of morning coffee. Diane enjoys beating Jeff at golf and watching all those sappy Hallmark Christmas movies! They both love spending time with each other, even after 40 years of marriage!  They also devote every moment they can to cheering on their 6 grandchildren in various sports and fine arts activities.

Sarah

Sarah is our Head Chef and Pastry Chef; she has been with our business since the very beginning.  She began working part-time in the convenience store and kitchen when she was 15.  Over the years she began to discover her love and passion for making food.  Sarah started full time with the business at the age of 19 and has never looked back.  While she never attended a formal culinary school, her ability to create and develop outstanding award-winning dishes is a true gift!  She gladly leads all three of our kitchens, and is eager to help out where needed.  She is generally found at her decorating table designing a masterpiece, or whisking away at the stove creating a new recipe!

Jamie

Jamie is the mastermind behind the mouthwatering meats that you devour at your special occasion. He is the guy who keeps all the chaos to a minimum while managing to get all the food out the door on time on our busy weekends!  Jamie started full time with our company in March of 2011 after working part time during winters while he was laid off from his construction job. He quickly became a great asset to the business by alleviating the daily pressures of meat ordering, aging, and cooking from Chef Sarah and Owner Diane.  He is an invaluable member of our team.
