Maker: Beverage Professional
My bartending career started in 1992 and still goes strong as I operate bars in Chapel Hill, NC and Charlotte, NC. I recently started learning about restaurants as I have been fortunate enough to be involved with one of those in Chapel Hill. Although I am a spirits enthusiast, my true passion comes when meeting and getting to know new people. I seem to really enjoy learning about others. My wife, Megan, and I have three wonderful boys.
