New Season, New Spotlights!
With our amazing seasonal students heading back to school (miss you already!), it’s time to shine the light on our year-round crew—the true backbone of Red Sky and NC Coast 💪
And who better to kick things off than someone you probably already know? She’s not just part of our team—she’s a big part of the OBX community too: Jenny Crofton!
Jenny is a true leader at Red Sky and NC Coast. She handles hiring, trains new staff, keeps everyone on point, and always leads by example—with great energy and serious focus.
Outside the restaurant, Jenny’s got a creative side too: she’s into photography, live music, yoga, and soaking up a perfect beach day whenever she can. We’re so lucky to have this powerhouse on our team!

Dear NC Coast/Red Sky family and customers: We’re proud and excited to introduce the newest leader in our NC Coast and Red Sky family, Jackie Stepp, who is stepping into the role of Director of Operations. With her heart, vision, and a wealth of experience, she is set to bring a new era of growth, innovation, and excellence to our restaurants.
Jackie Stepp, with over a decade of hospitality leadership and event management experience, has held management positions with nationally recognized restaurant groups, including Ashley Christensen Restaurants in Raleigh, where she served as Assistant General Manager and Events Execution Manager, overseeing daily operations, staff development, and private event execution.
She also brings firsthand knowledge of the Outer Banks dining scene, having previously served as General Manager of Red Sky Café. Most recently, Jackie worked as an independent restaurant consultant, helping ownership teams strengthen operations and staff performance.
She will focus on unifying and supporting the teams across all three concepts in this role.
As the daughter of our Executive Chef, Wes Stepp, Jackie’s new leadership is more than professional — it’s deeply personal. We’re excited for this new chapter and our continued evolution under her guidance! Welcome back Jackie!!
