Jason Arnold
Director of Operations
Moulin Events and Meetings & Vin de Set Rooftop Bar and Bistro
Jason has worked in the hospitality business for more than half his life, from hotels and resorts to cruise lines and restaurants. After graduating from the Cornell University, School of Hotel Administration, he worked for Hyatt Hotels and Resorts as the Banquet Manager and Beverage Manager in Aruba and Pittsburgh, PA. A couple of years into his Hyatt career, he was hired into the Clipper Cruise line family and thus began the long friendship with Paul and Wendy Hamilton and Scott Gaghan.
Jason was the Director of Purchasing for Clipper Cruise line which afforded him the opportunity to travel on five continents while learning and experiencing local food and wine customs, ingredients and purchasing them for the ship’s arrival. When the opportunity to return home to upstate New York and run a group of TV stations with friends arose, Jason changed gears and took over operations for Lilly Broadcasting LLC.
For more than six years, Jason, his wife Kim, daughter Cecilia and lab Sydney lived on Seneca Lake, in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York while running the local ABC and WB Television stations, making them the number one group in the market. This experience prepared Jason with the financial and marketing acumen to return to St. Louis and work with longtime friends on the project of establishing Vin de Set Rooftop Bar and Bistro and Moulin Events and Meetings.
Jason is very involved in the United Way and the Food Bank of St. Louis, serving as an a Board member for each. He is also a member of the Cornell Hotel Society and serves as a trustee for New York Alpha Alumni Organization. The Arnold’s reside in Kirkwood and still maintain their home on Seneca lake.
He looks at this opportunity as a once in a lifetime experience and is thrilled to be a part of the renovation and operation of the Centennial Malt House building establishing a premiere dining and meeting destination in the St. Louis region.
