OUR SMALL 45TH FAMILY, "THIS IS US"
Ashley
Owner of 45th Ave Crab House & Deli. Ashley is from Bel Air Maryland and spent most of her life on the Chesapeake Bay. Ashley bought 45th as a deli and has finally reached her dream of turning it into a crab house & deli!

JoAnn
Manager of 45th Ave Crab House & Deli.
JoAnn has been side-by-side with Ashley since opening day. She has been involved with all decisions and growth. JoAnn keeps everything running smoothly or at least running, lol.
JoAnn has two beautiful daughters, a sister, a brother who is moving here very soon, and "Dog" (her dog.)
JoAnn is from Jackson, NJ
Jeff
Jeff has been with 45th since shortly after opening.
Jeff is a previous restaurant owner and has helped with many ideas and decision-making. Jeff does it all, cook, cashier, runner, delivery driver, and friend. He has two adorable sons, a beautiful mom, and a twin sister. Jeff is from Frostburg, MD. Unfortunately, he is a Steelers fan.
Colin
Colin is our newest family member and is AMAZING!
Colin is extremely smart and is currently doing great in culinary school. He has added so much to 45th in such a small time. He has brought in new menu items such as his made-from-scratch brownies and hush puppies with cinnamon honey butter. He has great ideas and ambitions.
Colin is staying in NMB while in school. He is from Lugolff, SC, where the rest of his family is.
Keith
Keith... is the crab whisperer.
Keith receives and inspects all the crabs.
When Keith is not out running his own business as a landscaper, he is at 45th doing the (SSS)- sorting, seasoning, and steaming the crabs.
Keith is married to the owner and is the dad of their amazing son Caden. Keith is from Southern Maryland, Prince Frederick. Keith's Mom and brothers still live in Southern, MD but visit often.
Caden
Caden is the part-timer and son of the owner.
He does a great job clearing, cleaning, and setting up tables.
Caden enjoys making tips to spend on Roblox...ugh. He absolutely loves his ferret whose name is Squirrel.
Caden is from Bel Air, MD, and misses the snow and his cousins.
Erin & Megan
Erin and Megan are special event workers.
Cousins of the owner, these two beautiful ladies come to help with big events like the semi-annual crab feasts.
Erin lives in King, NC, and has a beautiful daughter, a handsome son, and a very understanding husband who lets her help out Ashley.
Megan currently lives in Columbia, SC on base. She has an adorable son, a stunning daughter, and an amazing husband that also comes and helps out when he can get off base.
Rio & Lola
Rio & Lola work extremely hard at eating all the scraps brought home to them. They also hold down the fort when mommy and daddy are at work running 45th.
They take their job very seriously and don't mind overtime.
Scout aka "Dog"
Dog is the timekeeper...(of JoAnn)
Scout works very hard at making JoAnn worry all day about when he needs to pee.
Scout likes to try new menu items and particularly likes anything turkey or any human ankles.
Scout never stops working!
Squirrel
Squirrel is the mascot of 45th!
Squirrel keeps the conversation going!
He has been known to escape his home, where he lives with Keith, Ashley, and Caden.
He finds it amusing when everyone goes on a "Squirrel" hunt, walking the neighborhood and yelling "Squirrel", "Squirrel"
Squirrel starts every day trying to figure out how to get outside and take over the world.
