    Portrait of Kyle Gilioli

    i. Biography

    The work here is built on range: sales floor, project coordination, property operations, maintenance, and hospitality all show up in Kyle Gilioli’s background. That mix matters at the bar, where pace, organization, and read-the-room judgment have to happen at once. The route also includes bartending at Hi-Wire Brewing and study at the University of California, Davis. The early service and retail years gave the floor-level habits that bar work depends on: staying engaged, keeping traffic moving, and handling the small demands that shape a busy shift. Kyle Gilioli worked as Sales Associate at Nike (2016–2018), then moved through Project Management Intern at Skanska (2016), Project Management Intern at Skanska (2018), and Project Planning Intern at Skanska (2019). Taken together, those posts point to a practical fluency with coordination and timing, built across different kinds of work rather than one narrow track. Project responsibility sharpened further in Project Manager at Epic (2020), before the work turned toward property operations in Property Manager and Maintenance Technician at AGID PROPERTIES, LLC (2020–2021). From there, Americorps Construction Crew Leader at Habitat for Humanity (2021–2022) added the demands of physical work and team direction. That sequence matters in hospitality because it trains both the systems side of service and the hands-on side of keeping things moving. Bartending at Hi-Wire Brewing (2023–2025) brought those skills into direct service, where timing, steadiness, and practical judgment are visible shift to shift. Today, the barkeep role at Homemakers Bar in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, since 2024, draws on the same mix of operations and floor-level service: enough structure to keep the room moving, enough flexibility to handle what the night asks for.
