Juls Sharply
Concierge & Event Planner
Design perfection is a part of who I am at my core! Growing up, I was constantly looking for ways to create anything custom: clothes for all of my stuffed animals and dolls, furniture for the Barbie house, hairstyles for my friends, bows for my own personal collection, and the list goes on. To say I was girly and loved creating would be an understatement.
I spent the better part of a decade, post-college, teaching skiing first in Vail, then in Aspen, and in Australia in between. I love to ski fast and hard and it’s one of my favorite outlets for overcoming challenges.
I love being around happy, upbeat, and fun people, and I infuse those attributes into everything I do.
In my free time, I love to ski (obviously), hike with friends, bake, sew, and knit. I watch “This is Us”, “Project Runway”, “The Voice”, and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” religiously, and “Love Actually” is my all-time favorite movie.

Alan Kokish
Private Chef
Aspen Custom Catering’s Chef / Owner / Operator Alan Kokish relocated to the Roaring Fork Valley from Santa Barbara in 1992 with the simple goal of being a ski bum.
Cooking in Aspen institutions such as Cooper Street Pier and Luci’s, Alan began to see food and cooking as a career as much as a means to ski. In 1995, he began his apprenticeship under well-known chef Joseph Rasacci. Working at Carnavale Ristorante, he began his culinary apprenticeship manning the dessert and salad station. Mastering this station, Alan began to bring some of his own creativity to the menu. As he moved his way up through the kitchen, Alan’s appreciation for classic Italian food continued to grow. In 1999 Alan was promoted to executive sous chef, a position where he continued to hone his culinary skills as well as staff management.
In 2001, Alan decided to pursue a different type of cuisine, accepting the sous chef position for Nobu Matsuhisa. It was refreshing and challenging working with a totally new type of cuisine. The high volume, superior products, attention to detail, and perfect presentation were paramount at Nobu.
