Justin Williams

Justin Williams grew up in Napa Valley surrounded by the bounty of the area. At 14, he entered the restaurant world, later enrolling at the Culinary Institute of America and staging at The French Laundry in his free time.

Williams went on to become General Manager at Chef Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bistro and Ad Hoc, before joining Frasca Hospitality Group, where he oversaw operations for four establishments, including Tavernetta and Sunday Vinyl.

In 2022, Williams returned to Napa as Director of Operations and now Managing Partner at PRESS, reuniting with his fellow TKRG alumni. Committed to excellence and mentorship, he says: “When I retire someday, I hope people will say that I made an impact on their life, that I helped them become a better professional, and achieve their dreams.’’
