Meet the Staff

Welcome to the Wyoming Inn of Jackson Hole. We all look forward to helping you create wonderful memories of Jackson Hole. Please acquaint yourself with us. We can’t wait to meet you!

We all are residents of Jackson Hole and happy long-time employees of Wyoming Inn, so you’ll see familiar friendly faces when you return. It’s like coming home to the warmth of family.

Ed Krajsky General Manager	Ed Krajsky/General Manager I moved to the Jackson area in 1978 from Florida for a summer job and never left. I have worked for years inside both Yellowstone and Teton National Parks and I can give you a lot of ideas on some nice hikes. I have been the General Manager of the Wyoming Inn since 1998. I have a wife and a son that keep me busy when I am not at work. I love to sea kayak, hike, and climb when I get the time to do it.
Armando Front Office Manager	Armando/Front Office Manager I’m from Mexico, but have been here for the last ten years. I love this area because it’s beautiful any time of the year. I have been working for this hotel since 1999. The hotel is one of the nicest in Jackson and the people that I work with are truly a great team. My wife works occasionally in the breakfast room at the hotel. Our son loves to fish in the summer and ski in the winter. As a family, we enjoy hiking in the mountains.
Elaine Group Sales Manager	Elaine/Group Sales Manager My husband Phil and I moved to Jackson Hole from Lake Placid, NY in 1993. We have since moved to Star Valley, 48 miles south, and enjoy trail riding and camping with our horses. We also enjoy visits from our four children and eleven grandchildren scattered all over the U.S. My job also includes marketing and guest services. I came to work at the Wyoming Inn as a two month fill-in in February 2000 and I’m still here.
Joe Breakfast Chef	Joe/Breakfast Room Chef I moved to Jackson Hole seven years ago from upstate New York, near Albany, where we ran a retail bakery, restaurant and catering business for thirty five years. After visiting the area, my wife and I decided to retire here because of the quality of life. I’ve been employed at the Wyoming Inn since November 2003, enjoying visiting with the guests in our breakfast room and working with a caring and hospitable staff.
Kat Front Desk	Kat/Front Desk I am a second generation Californian that ran away from home ten years ago. Until this recently I worked at a hotel in the Grand Teton National Park so I know the area and what it has to offer. I was so impressed after staying at the Wyoming Inn as a guest that I applied for a job two days later. I have a BA from the University of Washington.
Andy Front Desk	Andy/Front Desk After graduating from St. John’s University in Queens, New York I moved to Jackson in October of 2007 and enjoyed one of the heaviest snow years in Jackson history. My experience during the winter peaked my interest in the year round benefits of living in the Teton area. When I’m not at the hotel I spend most of my time exploring the many different trails either on my mountain bike or in my hiking shoes. When you stay at the hotel, hopefully I can share my most recent Teton discovery with you.
Jodie Front Desk	Jodie/Front Desk I am from Montgomery, AL and came straight out to Wyoming after graduating from Mississippi State University in 2005. I love kayaking, hiking, camping and fishing in the summer. I spend my winters snowmobiling, and am also trying to branch out into snowboarding. I love live music, traveling, and meeting new people. But no matter where my travels take me, the beauty of the Tetons is truly unsurpassed--each sunset is so unique and inspiring. Come check it out!
Debbie Front Desk	Debbie/Front Desk Hi! My name is Debbie Woodward and I’m originally from Philadelphia. I moved to Jackson Hole in 1989 and have been here ever since. I love the outdoors, hiking, camping, rafting and in the winter snowboarding and show shoeing . I was a snowboard instructor for a few years so if you need any pointers, I’d be glad to help. I love Jackson and all it has to offer. I especially like sharing my love of the area with visitors so they can see what a special place Jackson is.
MJ Front Desk	MJ/Front Desk Hi, my name is Mary Jane; everyone calls me MJ. My husband and I have lived here for 12 years. We are from Minnesota, and in 1992 had the opportunity to work in Yellowstone Park. We decided then and there that we had to live in this beautiful country. I love to camp and hike, and enjoy sharing my knowledge of the area with our guests. When I’m not at work you will find me in the mountains, painting the scenery or hiking with my dogs.
Katlen Meet the Staff	Katlen/Front Desk My name is Katlen Perino and I'm proud to be a Wyoming native! I have lived in Jackson for the last twelve yeras, and I love people and the great outdoors, that's why I enjoy working here at the Wyoming Inn and spending time in the grand teton national park. I look forward to helping you make reservations and welcoming you to the Jackson Hole area, and I might just be the person that picks you up at the airport see you soon!
Candice Meet the Staff	Candice/Night Auditor I was lucky enough to grow up 50 miles from beautiful Jackson, WY. I am attending Nursing school through Central Wyoming College in the best place on Earth (Jackson). My husband, our kid (German Shorthair dog), and I enjoy all the outdoor activities Jackson and surrounding areas have to offer. My hobbies include, but are not limited to skiing, dirt biking, camping, waterskiing, horse back riding, snowmobiling, volleyball, hunting, and fishing. I hope you enjoy your stay at the Wyoming Inn!
Victor Housekeeping Supervisor	Victor/Housekeeping Supervisor I was born November 8, 1964 in Tlaxcala, Mexico. In 1987, I moved to Blackfoot, Idaho to work on a ranch. After working there for five years, I returned to Mexico, but never gave up on my goals. Upon returning to Jackson, I started working at different jobs until I was hired by the Wyoming Inn in 1998. I am married and we have three daughters. As a family, we love to play soccer.
