Summary

The greatest value I bring to your organization is turning first time guests into and life-long customers. Meeting new people, listening to their stories, and finding ways to add to their experience is the best way to build genuine friendships. Years in the military and fire service provide an appreciation for high standards, consistency, and discipline. These values have contributed to being an example to others and an effective leader. Being passionate about wine; an environment that utilizes and furthers my knowledge of wine is important.
