  • Drew was born and raised in Seattle, starting in the hospitality industry at a young age.
    He came up through the Seattle restaurant scene hey day spending 7 years with Tom Douglas Restaurants during its period of peak growth.
    In 2015 Drew moved to Orcas Island in order to connect with a small agrarian community and redefine his passion for local community food systems.
    After several years of setting roots on Orcas, Drew started Matia Dinner Series, a pop up dining and catering business with Avery Adams a native islander.
    With humble beginnings, Matia Kitchen is now on the national fine dining scene with two James Beard nominations and a New York Times 50 best mention.
    With over 20 years of restaurant experience, Drew is excited to develop his hospitality background into lodging and package experiences.

  • Sarah grew up on Lopez Island, so calling her a local

    is an understatement. She’s leaned into the beauty and

    diversity of the San Juan Archipelago calling Orcas her home for over 20 years. Service and hospitality are core elements to her naturally creative personality. She shines brightest while working with others which can be seen through her work on her property, at MATIA, with Orcas Island Film Festival and the Suites. Her greatest accomplishment is being a mother and looks forward to seeing what new adventures lie ahead.

    May your experience of the San Juans be as memorable as hers
