William Jones, originally from Linden, AL, began his career in the industry as a young child helping his mother in her restaurant. Throughout the years, he worked a variety of roles within the restaurant but decided to pursue other interest through further educational.

Will attended school at The University of West Alabama in 2011, and moved to Auburn, AL shortly after where the restaurant industry seemed like a distant dream, until he accepted a position working part time at a high-end Italian restaurant with a growing wine program. This is when his passion for wine was discovered over a glass of 2007 Brunello di Montalcino. The passion found here has continued to grow and now encompassed not only wine, but the entire beverage and service industry. This passion drove Will to move to the Gulf Coast in pursuit of something more.

While on the Gulf Coast, Will worked at several restaurants, notably Southern National where he maintained the role of Beverage Director. In March 2020, he accepted the role of Assistant General Manager and Wine Director at The Hope Farm and in 2021 he accepted the role of General Manager and Wine Director. Through this platform, he has been allowed to showcase his love for the industry, his passion to spread new knowledge and experiences with each guest we see, and the opportunity to introduce them to wines, beverages, and foods they may have not experienced prior.

In his spare time, Will enjoys yoga, cycling, fitness, reading books, and spending time with friends and family.
