    Zeke Lindsay

    Zeke became passionate about beer in 1999 as a pub staff employee with a local microbrewery.  He was sucked in to this industry governed by enthusiastic, creative, driven, and irreverent individuals. Zeke's down home charm and crafty smile have served him well in both taprooms and meeting rooms.  How do you think he got the name “Rodeo Willie”?

    George Dimeo

    George is all about the beer. From brewing beer to drinking beer to selling beer to knowing about beer, George is the man. He started with Maletis Beverage as a merchandiser and has continued to move through the channels into what is now one of Maletis Beverage’s most knowledgeable beer aficionados. Ask him about his family; he will light up!

    Brian Shafer

    Brian graduated from Linfield College with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing, only because they didn't offer a degree in Beerology. He worked for Pepsi in Portland for 12 years as a salesman before he felt he was mature enough to start selling beer. He is approaching his fifth year with Maletis and still can't believe he gets paid to sell beer. He has a wife, two boys, and dog and a cat, and none of them drink beer.

    Stan Lim

    After too many years to count of retail grocery, Stan found a career that pays him for selling and drinking beer. Who knew? A family man, an avid gardener who always loves a walk on the golf course. His belief in Customer Service is the result of integrity, commitment, hard work and follow through. Cheers.

    Tim Kennedy

    To share a pint with Tim is truly one of the greatest simplest pleasures.  A guy with a ton of stories, a helpful word, a funny joke, and huge breadth of knowledge, he is THE examplar of Maletis Beverage. Tim has worked every angle of the beverage business; retail, delivery, sales, marketing, management; and now as the wunderkind driving the Craft Beer, Import Beer and wine segment of Maletis Beverage. He’d rather be at the beach with his family than anywhere else but when he’s not there, Maletis Beverage has the wonderful fortune to have him around.

    Nick Shimek

    Nick cut his teeth in the Shelf Set department of Maletis Beverage.  He became a trusted category advisor to both Chain and Independent retailers.   Lucky team, that Maletis Beverage South; Nick now sells Craft and Import Beer in Clackamas County…..when he’s not rooting with the Army at Timbers Games! Check out his portrait at Jeld Wen Field!

  • PEOPLE:

    Chris Lim

    Sociable but aloof, optimistic yet sardonic, fast-talking and reserved; Chris is an enigma. He’s a big city guy who’s lived in glitzy SoCal but prefers visiting his little niece and enjoys weekends at the beach or mountains with his yellow lab Payton. Chris’ trained palate and beverage prowess puts him on everyone’s “must know” list.

    Chelsey Parker

    It was originally quoted that Chelsey did an okay job at the Front Desk. So good, in fact, that Chelsey found herself running Utility Sales Routes and was then awarded her own Sales Route. Wanderlust took over and Chelsey packed up and headed Southwest where she worked and started a Masters Degree program. She missed us so much that she moved back and is a Sales Pro for the Majors in SW Washington AND finished her Master's Degree! Now for a little This or That from Ms Parker: her answers underlined!

    Darrick Jacobs

    What comes to mind when you hear ‘Renaissance Man’ A guy who hunts (not for skunks) and fishes but also likes to cook? The fellow who takes hunting scouting hikes in the woods and is also a big family man?  Meet Darrick Jacobs who keeps things going at the Vancouver Warehouse. He wears not just many but ALL the hats at Maletis WA; he has even CDL-trained a driver before he himself was old enough to be licensed!  His mantra of ‘do whatever needs done’ applies to work and home both. Darrick maintains 5 acres and even has a butcher shop and walk in cooler. BTW Darrick removed that dead skunk from in front of a lady’s house and she was so grateful. See what we mean? Renaissance Man!

    Jesse Cornett

    Almost everyone has known Jesse Cornett since his Publican days owning and operating the Guild Public House. Fast forward to Summer 2020 and Jesse is employed as a relief/utility Sales Pro for Maletis Beverage.  Before that? Jesse was Bernie Sanders’ Body Man! And before that…a long list. Jesse himself has run for political offices.  He’s cared for an injured and fallen climber near the top of a Mt. Hood peak.  He’s musical and theatrical.  He taught Political Science at Portland State.  Just before the Sanders campaign, Jesse developed a wildly successful territory as an On Premise Sales Pro with Maletis Beverage.  We have him again and will try to hang on!
