John Bryant, along with his wife Cindy, established No-Li Brewhouse in 2012, transforming it into Spokane’s sole regional brewery. Annually, the brewery crafts over 15,000 beer barrels, with a remarkable surge in 2023, boasting sales of 20,000 barrels. No-Li has garnered numerous accolades for its diverse range of craft brews, notably securing four gold medals at the 2023 World Beer Awards in London. Beyond its brewing prowess, No-Li's impact extends into the Spokane community through substantial contributions, with the brewery having donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to local nonprofits in recent years.


Kevin Finch leads the team at Big Table (www.bigtable.org) – a non-profit based in the Northwest that launched in 2009 to care for those in crisis in the industry with the highest concentration of need in our nation –restaurants and hospitality. Before forming Big Table, Kevin served both as food critic for 10 years and a pastor for 15 years. He holds a degree in English from Seattle Pacific University and a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary.  In a corner of his garage or under the stairs, you’ll find two bikes, skis, rarely used golf clubs, wine, a stack of books on cartooning, and a half-written novel.
