Keven Kinaschuk (above left) was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and presently resides in Littleton.  He spent his formative years at home eating pierogies and playing the drums in a garage band.  It wasn’t long before Keven realized the merits of good food and a paying job.  This sent him to the University of North Dakota to study business and start his illustrious career in the restaurant business.

Keven’s experiences in the restaurant and bar business are extensive. While attending university, Keven established the Urban Stampede coffee house and managed The Antique Night Club in Grand Forks, North Dakota.  Then it was on to Palomino Euro-Metro Bistro in Minneapolis.  The opportunity to establish the Rock Bottom Brewery with Chris McGraw in Portland, Oregon called Keven westward and into the management track of Rock Bottom Restaurants Inc.  From Portland it was on to Seattle as a part of the opening management team of the Seattle Rock Bottom.  In 1998 Keven was offered the position of General Manager of Operations at the Denver ChopHouse, a flagship restaurant for Rock Bottom Restaurants Inc.  At the ChopHouse, Keven got great exposure, hosting the Broncos' Super Bowl victory party in 1999, and for this hockey fan, the chance to hoist Lord Stanley's cup over his head at the 2001 Avalanche Stanley Cup Victory Party hosted by the restaurant.  Keven was then on to Boulder to set up yet another Rock Bottom restaurant.  He then returned to Denver and finally found his nirvana in a converted hardware store in historic downtown Littleton. 

McKinners Pizza Bar is the result of Keven’s life-long dream of owning his own restaurant.  Keven understands what excellent dining means and makes every detail of the experience count.  Keven’s goal is to have McKinners maintain impeccable service standards while embracing a funky charm, giving every customer more than just a meal out. 

Christopher McGraw (above right) is a married 40 year old and hails from Minnesota. Growing up eating "Hot Dish" and "Sloppy Joes" has fueled a fire within him to think outside of the box while creating dishes. A 25 year restaurant veteran, this pizza guru has done it all. With several corporate franchise openings to his resume, he knows the value of good marketing and a strong staff. As an event coordinator, bartender and server he understands the importance of teamwork and the benefit of listening to the guest. As a kitchen manager concerned with his food cost, Christopher practices careful inventory rotation, cost effective specials and accurate inventories to maintain his cost control center. Sanitation and cleanliness are of utmost concern; this he learned as a brewer's assistant. Now he realizes that the schooling he has received is priceless. Over the past five years Mr. McGraw has been working on all things pizza. Researching pizza is a laborious task; when traveling he samples local pizza places and constantly scours the Denver market for any untried pies. Mr. McGraw has also been featured in the AAA Non-Alcohol Recipe Book.
