Alex Jump originally hails from Chattanooga, TN, where she grew up breathing Southern hospitality. A BAR-5 Day graduate, Alex honed her skills by working behind and running bar programs at multiple James Beard nominated restaurants. She has competed in multiple national competitions including Speed Rack, Lustau Solera Standout, Heaven Hill Bartender of the Year, & Bombay Sapphire Most Imaginative Bartender. 

In 2018, a year after moving to Denver, Alex joined the opening team of Death & Co Denver as the Head Bartender. Over the last 3+ years for the company she has worn many hats and is currently the Bar Manager at Death & Co Denver as well as the company’s Cocktail Class Coordinator. She was one of Punch’s Bartenders in Residence in 2019, nominated for Bartender of the Year at the 2020 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards, and most recently was included on Forbes 30 Under 30 for F&B in 2021. 

In early 2020 after competing in Bombay Sapphire’s Most Imaginative Bartender and forming the idea for Focus on Health, an initiative dedicated to bringing health & wellness to the forefront of the hospitality world, Alex joined forces with Lauren Paylor to bring this idea to life. Together they are working towards creating better lives for those who work in the food & beverage industry through community outreach, training, and the Focus on Health and No Proof podcasts. Outside of work, Alex enjoys practicing yoga, doting on her dog, Julep, and riding motorcycles with her friends.
