Jason Jimenez, Chef & Co-Founder

Jason started his career exposed to true Southern cuisine in Charleston, SC while attending culinary school at Johnson and Wales University. The Atlanta native returned home to Georgia to work at several of the acclaimed restaurants around town, including Canoe, Local Three, and Muss & Turner’s. Over the years, Jason developed a desire to bring exceptional seasonal menus to private events--whether celebrations, retreats, or company dinners. In September 2012, he started the Homespun with his wife, Jamie. With a passion for locally sourced foods, Jason has thoroughly enjoyed giving life to the idea of an intentional communal food experience. In 2016 Jason opened the neighborhood eatery, Kitchen Six, where he served as the operating partner and executive chef until the Fall of 2019, when he left the restaurant to focus on Homespun.


Jamie Jimenez, Co-Founder

Jamie grew up in the Great Lakes state of Michigan, where the love for delicious, home-cooked meals was instilled in her from an early age. After graduating from Liberty University with a degree in Business, she pursued her passion for design, honing her skills as a graphic designer. Jamie has always loved the art of bringing people together through food and drink, but it wasn't until she teamed up with Jason, who shared her passion for hospitality, that Homespun was born. Together, they built a business that brings together all of Jamie's talents and passions. With her eye for design, Jamie has created a catering experience that is both visually stunning and incredibly delicious (thanks to the culinary team). You will often find her working behind the scenes on operations while caring for their kiddos at home.


Charles Alexander, Sous Chef

Charles Alexander is a NYC native, hailing from Queens in a neighborhood called Jackson Heights. His father is a chef so he grew up in the restaurant industry. Eating high quality foods and cuisines from all over the world at a young age gave Charles an excellent understanding of food. He has been working in kitchens since a teenager, expanding his love for cooking as he understood how food brings people together and how a meal can be significant for years after it is consumed. Charles shares Homespun’s founding ideals of hospitality focused and is excited to be on a team to create many memorable moments for others.
