Demos' Restaurant, a Middle Tennessee institution for over 25 years, is pleased to announce three pertinent additions to the Demos' and Peter D's leadership team.

Kevin Travis joined the family owned business in September 2015 as Vice President of Operations. Travis began his career in the restaurant industry working at Demos' Restaurant in 1994 as a waiter.

Since his early days with Demos' Restaurant, Travis has spent the last 20 years in the restaurant industry. After serving in various roles of management, he earned the position of Vice President of Operations at BB King's Blues Club and Dick's Last Resort.

Travis holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications from Middle Tennessee State University and a Master of Business Administration from Vanderbilt University. His experience in markets such as Baltimore, Las Vegas, Nashville and Orlando, combined with his background in change management, organizational growth and business strategy, bring a level of expertise to the Demos Family of Restaurants that is key for future growth opportunities.

Ginger Anderson, a CPA and 21-year veteran in the restaurant industry, joined the Demos' family in April 2016 as the Company Controller. Anderson began her career at Logan's Roadhouse, holding positions within the accounting and finance departments. She subsequently served as a Manager in franchise services at the public account firm, Horne LLP. Anderson left Dick's Last Resort, as Controller, to join the Demos Family of Restaurants and help further Demos' and Peter D's growth campaign.

Per CEO and owner Peter Demos, Anderson's experience in full service restaurants, as they have grown from small companies to large companies, will allow the company to grow without leveraging finances or compromising service to customers.

Anderson earned her Bachelor of Science with a double major in Accounting and Economics/Finance from David Lipscomb University.

Keith West joins the team as Director of Culinary. A graduate of Middle Tennessee State University, West brings over 20 years of culinary experience and restaurant openings to the organization. West most recently was the Culinary Director for Puckett's Restaurant. Over the past seven years, West's expertise helped open Puckett's Restaurant, Scout's Pub, Gray's on Main and The Boathouse.

"We are very excited about the addition of Keith and the addition of his new role in our company. While Demos' has been in business for almost 27 years, I feel it is important to keep evolving with menu items that blend our core philosophy of great food and value. Keith will also help us continue to fine-the tune the brand through the menu and the unique food at the Peter D's concept, as we look to open our second location," Demos states.

Jim and Doris Demos, Peter's parents, opened the first Demos' Restaurant in 1989 in Murfreesboro; the fifth Demos' Restaurant opened in Clarksville this past November.
