Summary

I have spent the last 5+ years working in the craft beer industry. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning the in and outs of the industry through the retail side at the Beer Cellar along with building relationships with suppliers and customers. As my role has expanded from Sales to Buying, I have gotten the chance to experience identifying the trends in Craft Beer and matching those to the needs of our clientele which is one of my favorite parts of working in this industry.


I have been a big fan of Phase Three since you guys opened and believe I would be a good fit as an account manager due to my knowledge of your product and ability to create lasting relationships with potential accounts.
