Almost 30 Years
I began my Food and Wine adventure as a Busboy in 1993 in Savannah GA after my tour in the Army ended. It was where I had my first wine epiphany and gave me a solid foundation in hospitality and service.
After moving to Austin in 1995, I continued my education both academically at the University of Texas and with wine and hospitality. I found myself a first time Bar Manager and rookie wine buyer and nothing like on the job training to teach you about varietals and styles but also wine as a business.
In 2000, With my Anthropology and German degree in hand, I left restaurants to start my next adventure and ultimately my career in fine wine and its distribution. I have learned so much as a sales rep, sales manager, portfolio manager and as a winery representative that I am now taking another step in that education and founding my own Agency.
22 years after getting my first route list and wine bag, I am now excited to take what I have learned in selling and marketing wine and create a Wine Marketing Service that will advocate for wineries from all over here in Texas. It makes me happy to connect good folks with good wine.
