CARRIE BOEHM

Carrie has kept a passion for the restaurant industry since her first serving job in high school. She loved the energy, pace and excitement that is part of being in the restaurant industry and someday dreamed of owning her own restaurant. Following this passion, she enrolled in the Hotel and Restaurant Program at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. After a year of uncertainty in this career path, Carrie attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison and ultimately received her degree in Economics. Carrie went on to receive her Master's of Business Administration Degree from UWM in 1999.

Carrie spent nearly 15 years with General Electric where she held various rolls in finance, marketing, sales and management. The varying responsibilities and challenges of these positions gave her a strong business background that has served her well as the owner of a business.

Carrie's dream of owning her own restaurant came true when she and her husband Dale purchased Piano Blu in 2008. Her dream of becoming a mom also came true in 2010 with the arrival of her twin sons, Nolan & Landon. After taking a leave from the restaurant to care for her children, the Lakefront Grille opened in 2012.

Carrie met Ted Anderson in 2013 and began to discuss the future of Lakefront Grille. They wanted to create a truly special restaurant that combined the laid-back nature of Lake Country with the freshest, quality ingredients and superior service. As a shared vision, they set out to bring Artisan 179 to Lake Country. Carrie and Ted make a great team as business partners to make Artisan 179 a truly special place.

Carrie's hope is that you will make many lasting memories as you explore all that Artisan 179 has to offer as it continues to grow and become a staple in the Lake Country area.
