✨ Meet the Owners Behind Backyard Bar-bie
Hi friends!
I’m Ashtyn — by day, I work as a Correctional Treatment Specialist at an adult detention center, where I create programs and re-entry plans to help individuals rebuild their lives. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Human Service Studies with a minor in Criminal Justice from Elon University, and I’ll be graduating this May 2026 with my Master’s in Public Affairs from UNC Greensboro 🎓
I’m deeply passionate about helping others, especially those from marginalized communities, and I truly believe in leading with kindness, compassion, and love. I’m originally from Warrenton, VA and now call Burlington, NC home.
And I’m Telvis — a police officer, Marine Corps veteran 🇺🇸, plant enthusiast 🌿, and a proud Danville, VA native. I value hard work, discipline, and showing up for my family and community every day.
Together, we’re partners in life and in business. We love to travel ✈️, spend time with our three beautiful kids, enjoy beach days 🌊☀️, and make memories with our family every chance we get.
Backyard Bar-bie was created from our love of bringing people together, celebrating life’s moments, and adding a little extra sparkle to every event 🍹💖
We’re so grateful for your support and can’t wait to be a part of your next celebration! 🥂
