Meet Randy Klingenmeier — Distiller/Manager at Wild AZ Distillery. 🥃🌵

Randy grew up in San Diego before making Goodyear, Arizona home in 2001. His journey into spirits began about eight years ago when his best friend, Joshua Hatch, introduced him to the world of wh***ey. What started as late nights sharing bottles, learning about different spirits, and introducing friends to new favorites soon grew into a true passion.

At Wild AZ Distillery, Randy brings that passion and a fresh perspective to the craft. While wh***ey started the journey, gin captured his imagination. Inspired by Arizona’s desert botanicals and unique local flavors, he enjoys creating spirits that feel truly homegrown and reflect the wild beauty of Arizona.

When he’s not experimenting with new recipes at the distillery, Randy enjoys camping, fishing, hunting, and spending time with his wife and two sons.

Meet Joshua Hatch — Head Distiller & Co-Owner of Wild AZ Distillery. 🥃🌵

An Arizona native, Joshua brings more than two decades of engineering experience and a passion for crafting premium spirits to Wild AZ. His technical background, attention to detail, and love for the craft bring precision and Arizona pride to every spirit he helps create.

Joshua is also the founder and president of a local wh***ey club, where he has spent years bringing wh***ey enthusiasts together to share knowledge, appreciation, and fellowship around great wh***ey.

Outside the distillery, Joshua is a devoted husband to Kristen Chavez-Hatch and proud father to their son, Dominic. He also enjoys spending time with his best friend, Randy, sharing bottles, stories, and plenty of laughs with close friends.

Meet Kristen Chavez-Hatch — Founder, Co-Owner & Master Distiller of Wild AZ Distillery. 🥃🌵

An Arizona native, Kristen’s story is rooted in faith, family, heritage, and community. After nearly 20 years in the financial industry, she made the decision to step away from her longtime career and turn a dream into reality—building Wild AZ Distillery while proudly carrying forward the Wild Hare Distillery name and legacy.

As a business owner and Master Distiller, Kristen is passionate about creating Arizona-inspired spirits, honoring local craftsmanship, and building something meaningful for the next generation. Through Wild AZ and Wild Hare, she hopes to celebrate Arizona, preserve the sense of community that brings people together, and honor the family roots and heritage that shaped who she is.

Outside the distillery, Kristen is a devoted wife to Joshua Hatch and proud mom to their son, Dominic. She also volunteers as a booster mom at Dominic’s school, dedicating her time and service to supporting her son, his teammates, and their football program.

Whether she’s at the distillery, in the stands, serving her community, or spending time with family, Kristen keeps her faith at the center of it all. Being a wife, mom, business owner, and volunteer are not separate parts of her story—they are the heart of it. 🌵🤎 Kristen Chavez-Hatch
