Kevin - Chef/Owner

Kevin is fulfilling his dream of owning his own place. When not working, he is working at Hi Tulip. He grew up in Ormond Beach and received his culinary degree from Daytona State College which is coming in handy: and it shows. Kevin has many other talents such as being a member of 2 bands. He plays many instruments including keyboard, violin, and various percussion. He also is an avid skateboarder and occasionally has time to surf. Kevin has an old soul and couldn’t be a nicer boss. Hi Tulip says: be-all, end-all

Holly - Co-Owner

Holly...native of Daytona Beach, FL, and retired, wait...what? Retired? Nope. After delivering mail in Ormond Beach for 40 years, she is helping her son live his dream by helping as much as possible. Doing what mom’s do…grocery shop, clean, plan, pay the bills, encourage, repeat. Café owner is now on her working resume. When she can, she joins Bud on some of his travelling adventures. Holly, aka Ya-Ya, Loves, loves, loves her Grandbabies! And will hold your baby while you enjoy your meal if you let her.
Hi Tulip says: Thanks mom

Christine - Manager

Christine...boots in. Originally from Minnesota and has just recently tried grits, she will do whatever it takes to keep Hi Tulip top notch. She is the manager, and don’t you forget it. Much needed and highly appreciated role. Not only does she keep the employees, vendors, Solicitors, and owners on track, she is the barista, baker, and candlestick maker. There is nothing that she can’t or won’t do for Hi Tulip. She can bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan. Christine has been dating Kevin for 4 years and they must have a love -hate relationship, as they love to be together and hate to be without. Not only do they work and live together, Christine is a singer in one of the bands Kevin is in. If she isn’t at Hi Tulip, well, when is she NOT at Hi Tulip. She is highly dedicated. If she does have spare time she likes to hang with her cats Watch movies and chill…(or is that gearing up for tomorrow!)
Hi Tulip says: take the bull by the horns

Bud - The Big Guy

Bud...grew up in Daytona Beach, Florida and is enjoying his retirement years by doing some travelling, hiking attending blue grass festivals, and gardening. When not on the road he loves to hang out with his 3 wonderful Grandchildren. The Hi Tulip Café is a new adventure, however. He helps in many ways as the main honey-do person. (He better, as his wife is the owner!) He fully supports his wife and son, the chef, as they all take on this family-owned and operated endeavor. Hi Tulip says: The big guy
