My working career started in event management, specialized lighting along with the warehousing and logistics involved. Most of that time was spent in Marriot and other heritage hotels in Austin, TX and Charleston, SC. After my time in those fields I started my wine career with Total Wine, moving on to Eataly of Los Angeles where I honed in a love of fine Italian wine. Eataly was instrumental in my learning of wine growing regions within Italy and the stylistic differences of those regions. Post-Eataly I began working at Flask. Where they specialize in old, rare and hard to find wines and spirits ranging from, American, Japanese snd Scotch whiskies to old vintage bottles of Campari (or even my personal favorite brand “Select”). Flask has allowed me to continue learning and growing my Italian wine knowledge but also during up holes in my knowledge of all other regions and their wines and local spirits.
I am currently studying for my Sommelier exams level 2 and am looking to begging working in fine dining. I have an affinity for fine wines and outstanding guess service. I try to apply a certain level of finesse to everything I do and believe I can do great in Michelin level service.
