About Us


We began our journey in 1998 as self-employed entrepreneurs while traveling through the United States. We eventually landed in Joplin, MO. With the help of our family and friends, we purchased an independent motel. Since then, we've grown and expanded our business to include hotels, restaurants, a brewery, and an apartment complex.

In 2011, we diversified our portfolio as we ventured into the restaurant business with AJ's vision of a "man cave." The concept became Old Chicago Pizza Taproom as our first franchised location in Joplin. In 2017, we opened a second location in Rogers, AR. Additionally, we've opened Bar Louie in Sioux City, IA and Walk On's Sports Bistreaux. We are operating partners at a brewery located in Pittsburg, KS and have an apartment complex situated in Joplin, MO.

TAPS Management Inc is an acronym of our names: T/P for our daughters and A/S for ourselves. TAPS also represents beer taps which we're passionate about. Our company primarily engages in providing management services to other establishments within our portfolio rather than serving the public or other business firms.
