General Manager
Born and raised in Bristol Connecticut, Kieran started his restaurant career in Danbury CT while attending WCSU. After moving to Edinburgh Scotland in 2007 to study Archaeology he started in hospitality management while working for Edinburgh University Students Association, one of the largest multi venue student unions in the UK. This is also where he fell in love with European cafes and bakeries.
Kieran came back to the US in 2010 and started with the Max Restaurant Group at Max Downtown as a Bartender and Server; after moving back to Scotland for his MBA he returned to the Max Group at Max Tavern in Springfield.
After five years at Max, Kieran took a left turn and deciding to take a challenge Kieran left hospitality in 2019 to take a Chief Operation Officer position with a newly created CBD. When SMiller gave Kieran a call he said he was not looking for a restaurant position. Scott asked him to come down to Doro Marketplace anyway just to have a chat. As soon as Kieran walked in, he felt like he was back in Scotland and asked Scott what he needed to do to make this place awesome!

Assistant General Manager

Working in dine-in restaurants for so long, Audra was ready for a change and to see what else the restaurant industry had to offer! Which lead her to the Doro Restaurant Group, where she is now the Assistant General manager of Doro Marketplace; and truly couldn’t be happier!
On her free time Audra has a passion for photography and being outdoors. She enjoys spending time with her family and her four-legged children, Lex and Taz.
