Husband and wife Kelly and Laina Shockley opened Ethos Vegan Kitchen in 2007. In addition to achieving our own financial and family goals, we are motivated by the satisfaction that comes with being a community-minded, environmentally aware, and socially responsible small business and employer. . What Laina lacked in hands-on restaurant experience, she made up for with business know-how, financial savvy, and a burning desire to read the small print. Laina's business background includes self-employment as a small business consultant and a Masters in Business Administration, plus an undergrad degree in Hospitality Management. Laina handles all back office functions of the restaurant, and is also the baker in the family, and the creator of Ethos' bakery concept and recipes. Laina is a stay at home Mom by day and also enjoys gardening, baking, knitting, reading, and playing card games and board games. Kelly and Laina live downtown Orlando with their two small children and one big dog. All of the Shockleys enjoy traveling, the great outdoors, and making music together.
