The Shack Crew

Who's who?

Pirates, debutantes, nerds and rock stars have passed through the Shack ... and that's just our staff. Each of them left their mark (or in Guber's case his underwear), on the Caribbean's most famous parking lot bar. Thank you, you guys rock!

The Love shackers

Liz Duffy

Owner, originator, co-creator (official title : Procurer of Toys and Tom-foolery). Still active in daily operations. Would like to spend more time DJ'ing than current bartenders allow. liz@duffysloveshack.com

Leroy (Funji) Brunn

I have worked for Duffy's over 28 years. Now I'm the head chef so every food that you see on our website, I did it. Love to meet people from all parts of this wonderful world that take their time to come and visit Duffy's Love Shack on the Island where I was born.

"USVI BABY"

Rhea

aka Candi Diva! I enjoy making others smile and laugh. My hobbies are reading, going to the beach and spending time with family. I believe my smile will make YOU smile, so lets be happy together!

Bryce

I'm from the US mainland. I surf, skate, dive! I am a people person & I've grown up in the water all my life. I love the island life, that's why I'm here!

Grace

Wuddup! Born and raised in South Detroit (JK from Birmingham, MI - a suburb of the D) . 3 months after graduating CMU I ventured off to Mozambique for 2 1/2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer! Came back to Michigan in 2019 and decided I couldn't do another Michigan winter. Moved to the VI and am STOKED to be here!

Show love, spread love baby.

Claudette

I'm fun and hard working. A team player and I'll make you laugh when you're sad! Respect me - I respect you.

Mr. Harvey

I have worked over 40 years for the Wesley Methodist Church, being responsible for the care and maintenance of the property.

Todd

I love Duffy's! Originally from Dallas, I got married in Sept 2022! I grew up as one of 5 kids, but don't yet have any of my own. I've been in the restaurant business 35 years. I love a good walk on the beach at sunset, candle lit dinner and LIFE!

Angelee

Born and raised in sunny California. Love to travel whenever I can, especially on the road with my dog Sage. I've been on island about 9 years. I'm your typical beach bum, animal loving, tree hugging hippie. Absolutely hate drama & avoid is as much as possible!

Tim Duffy

1953-2007

Original co-creator of The Love Shack, son of legendary Hugh Duffy of the infamous Duffy's Creque Alley in Charlotte Amalie in the 1960's - and birthplace of the famous Mama's and Papa's ("Duffy's good vibrations, and our imaginations can't go on indefinitely - California Dreaming is a becoming reality"). Tim was raised in St. Thomas, Puerto Rico and Mallorca Spain, the family of NYC bohemians traveled the globe with three kids in tow. He tended bar at The Buffalo Roadhouse in Greenwich Village for most of the 70's. He and Liz met in 1981 at The Backyard Bar in Cruz Bay, St. John (that would one day house Duffy's St. John!). They were married at the Moravian Church in Coral Bay. Their collaboration on The Love Shack was, and continues to be, pure passion.

Mitch

I have worked at Duffys more than 20 years as a cook ... I really love to cook!

Steven a/k/a Esteban

Illinois transplant SUPER excited to never see *SNOW* again! Enjoy long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.

JW

Colorado native, bartender and junior man of mystery. I moved to the islands on Halloween 2020 and haven't looked back. Duffy's Jack of All Trades, find me behind the bar, serving tables or out on a ladder painting the building.

Mike

International Man of Mystery. Currently pimping his Lil Rascal after a bizarre boating accident.

Lemona

I was born on the beautiful island of Monserrat. My family came to the VI when i was just 6. People may look at me and say I am shy, but get to know me! I can say, I love to have fun and meeting new people!

Jahnavia

I over think sometimes! I like to keep a clean place. I love to cook, and come up with different ways to make my work better. Sometimes I keep to myself.

Note from Liz Duffy: Jahnavia is a third generation Shacker, and student intern this summer. Her little growth chart is on my office wall since she was just 3 years old!

Anesha

I have great customer service, I'm all about the smiles! I like seeing customers with a smile and having a good time. I'm friendly, and I dont like drama or confusion!

Erica

Irish / American dual citizen and have been traveling all over for the past 15 years. I've lived in China, Thailand, Alaska, Oregon, and Arizona. But I am so stoked to be in the USVI! I love a good pint and a good story.Partial to astrology and alien chats. Enjoy working and meeting new faces!
