Seasoned bartender with strong foundations in spirits, mixology, wine, and beer.

I am a Manhattan native who has worked in every type of bar venue imaginable, yes, even THAT one. My love of spirits spans the globe and includes all types of cocktails meaning we can talk all things from Scotch to Tequila to Baijiu (what's Baijiu? Exactly). We can have a fun event where you can learn to mix up some shaken and stirred cocktails or I can lead you through a flight or two of your favorite spirit (if that particular spirit is in my wheehouse of expertise knowledge level). I am a competition bartender and my wins have afforded me the luxury to travel abroad and educate myself more on different spirits and the cocktails of the cultures of those countries. These are some of the stories I enjoy sharing during the time of our event. Competitions aside, I will teach you how to make to the simplest three ingredient cocktail perfect every time, and you will after an evening with me, all while having the best time doing it!

I am a highly detail-oriented Beverage Manager fully trained in the art of mixology. Bartending is my trade. As one of the oldest and most exciting professions, tending bar for me has been an adventure and still is every time I step behind the bar. My career as a bartender has allowed me to experience things, places and different types of people that no other job could ever do in quite the same way. Bartending at major casinos, 4-star restaurants, nightclubs & country clubs have been a way of life for me and my peers. Flipping bottles, serving daiquiris at pools is pretty cool! Ask yourself this;     "Did they ever make a movie about what you do for a living?"
