Shaun Layton | Barman, Consultant, "Baby-Faced Assassin with a Bar Spoon"
One of the good guys! Shaun Layton runs the bar program at Juniper in Vancouver, has been named Vancouver Magazine's Bartender of the Year and one of Western Living Magazine's 'Top 40 Foodies Under 40,' (at which time editor Neal McLennan christened him with the above moniker). He's my automatic go-to when I need to sub-contract for a client's cocktail program. Track him down on Twitter at @ShaunLayton or better yet, saddle up to his bar.

Rico Uno | DJ | The Freshest
When I do medium or large-scale events, sometimes a DJ's in order. When you have crowds that range in age from 20 to 60 and you want to keep up the energy, maintaining a fun vibe without alienating a single soul, you need one of the best. The Freshest crew's Rico Uno has always knocked it outta the park for me. Find him at About.me/RicoUno or TheFreshest.ca
