About Me

A passion for travel, food, and wine has kept me in this beverage and hospitality industry for over 30 years. From working in a small family wine shop, to fine dining restaurants, to working for top tier wholesalers/importers selling the best wines in the world. All this has allowed me to give a well-rounded perspective to the products and people I represent. Telling stories and connecting with people through education, events, and tastings is what is most enjoyable about my job.
I am currently the Southeast Regional Sales Manager at For di Sole winery in Napa Valley, where we have been known for over 30 years of making best in class Napa wines, bringing value to the table every day.  I am happy to be based here in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina.
