Gary Moore
Equipment Manager
I grew up and graduated high school in northern New York
I grew up and graduated high school in northern New York on the Canadian border. After college (Herkimer State at NY), I became disc jockey at a local radio station and pursued that for four years. After my second child was born I did not have time for radio or patience for the north country winters so we packed up and moved to Georgia. After only two days here I was called for an interview with a company that prints stamps and this is where I got into maintenance. Two months after I started there I went to work for Sunny Delight for the next 14 years until an auto dealership called me and I went to work there for the next 6 years. Then one day out of the blue I get a call from this company called Hanna Brothers and I am now heading on 7 years with them. Hanna Brothers is a very strong, family oriented company that I have immensely enjoyed helping and watching grow. I love the complexity and challenges of my life here at HB as every day we strive to change and adapt to our work load and clientele. I’m very excited and honored to be a part of this company and I look forward to many more successful years.
Lainey Camp-Lucas
Events Manager
I am eager to stay a continuous learner, whether that be in my family
I am eager to stay a continuous learner, whether that be in my family or my work life. I am married with 3 awesome kids.
I have been in the restaurant business for most all of my life. Grew up from a server to a bartender, to working special catered events, and now to running my own team of people in Events at Hanna Brothers. I consider it a great feat and am very thankful for the opportunity. I attended Bryan College in TN for business for 2 years and got my Associates from Georgia Military College later on. I started out at Aberdeen Woods in Peachtree City back when I was a young girl. I loved what I did there and was blessed with an amazing group of people to work with. I stayed with them for 15years, leaving as their Supervisor of Dining and Events. I took an opportunity to work for Fayette Piedmont and helped run their Dietary and Nutrition Department. That was a step away from the F&B industry that I was used to but I am very proud and happy that I had the privilege to serve the sick and ill. After 7 years of being with Piedmont, I am now here at Hanna Brothers and very much love what I do. I hope to continue to learn and grow here with this company.
