The Dream Team

Four generations. Thousands of satisfied clients. While much in the world of eyewear fashion has changed (and returned) over the last 88 years, many things remain the same at Moss Optical. We are still a local, family run business. We are still sticklers about quality and lavish our clients with world class service. We are still a mainstay in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. We are determined to make each customer’s experience the best possible. So stop in today!

As the son of a son of an Optometrist, optics are in my blood. I’m so happy that after 40 years of running Moss Optical, I was able to pass the torch to my niece Jane and her husband John. Jane is the great granddaughter of our founder Dr. George Moss. I can now ease into retirement knowing that our family business and our many patients are in good hands. It has been a pleasure to have spent my career helping so many people see better.

I began working at Moss Optical in 1992 as a receptionist. Since then, I’ve worked my way around the shop. Currently my main jobs are lab tech (I’m the one who makes your eyeglasses) and insurance specialist. Along with my two primary responsibilities, I also do pre-screening of patients, adjustments, frame sales and dispensing. In 2024 when Kevin Moss decided to retire, my husband John and I bought Moss Optical. I am proud to carry on the family business as a fourth generation owner. If I’m not at work, you will probably find me in my garden, hanging out with my chickens or spending time with my two grandsons. Maybe they will play a part in the future of Moss Optical!

I joined my wife Jane at Moss Optical in 2022 to learn the optical business after Kevin Moss began thinking about retirement. Jane and I purchased Moss Optical from her uncle Kevin in 2024 to continue a multi-generational family business since 1935. Before I started my career in the optical business I worked as an IT Consultant and then worked for 22 years in the fire service and retired from that as a Deputy Fire Marshal. I have always enjoyed helping people, so providing great customer service to our awesome clientele makes the job fun. When I’m not working I love doing anything outdoors; camping, hunting, kayaking, playing golf, etc.

I grew up in the Midwest, and after graduating cum laude from the Southern College of Optometry in 2005, I moved to Minneapolis. I take pride in providing comprehensive and compassionate care, leaving no questions or concerns unanswered. In my free time I like to stay physically active, see live music, collect vinyl records, read, cook, and partake in the amazing local restaurant scene.

I started my career as an optician in 2015 and have worked in a variety of settings before settling into my job at Moss Optical. I am so happy to be working in a small, family-run office - it allows me the freedom to meet our fabulous clients' needs in unique ways. My favorite thing about my job is making sure people feel comfortable, educated about their options and excited about eyewear whether they're looking for their first pair or adding to their collection. When I am not at work, I like to spend my time with my dog Judy or with friends cooking, going on walks, and swimming.

I’ve been an optician in the optical world for a few years now. Since joining Moss Optical in February 2025, I’ve felt nothing but excitement to be part of such a wonderful team. I love helping our clients with their day-to-day optical needs—whether it’s seeing clearly or looking effortlessly fantastic. When I’m not at Moss, you can usually find me at the movies catching the latest blockbuster, hunting down tasty bites at local eateries, or experimenting in my kitchen. And when it’s time to unwind, I’m probably cozied up at home with my kitty cat, Lady.
