Butchers

Dave has been in the meat industry for over 20 years and has spent nearly 11 years with Lakewood. His journey began in Washington, where he took a meat and butcher class as an elective at a local college. When his instructor invited him to work at his shop, Dave said yes—and the rest is history. Over the years, he’s worked for Whole Foods, Podesto’s Market, and Sprouts, where he played a key role in opening new stores. A friend eventually introduced him to Lakewood, and the timing was perfect for a change. Dave takes pride in serving customers he’s known throughout his career and continues to provide exceptional service at Lakewood.

Ken transitioned from a 13-year career in insurance and finance to the meat industry in 2020. Starting with helping customers and learning how to cut meat, he eventually began assisting with sausage-making. Today, he’s the mastermind behind all the sausage at Lakewood. When Ken isn’t at work, you can find him on the golf course or in the kitchen, honing his cooking skills.

Luke joined Lakewood in 2018 during high school as a part-time cleanup kid, marking his first job. Over six years later, he’s now a full-time team member dedicated to ensuring every customer leaves happy and satisfied. When he’s not at work, Luke enjoys camping with his family and spending time outdoors.
