He has enjoyed positions with PepsiCo W&S, managing Stolichnaya vodka in 6 states; Seagram’s, where he first fostered his support of Flair bartending; and American Beverage Marketers, who he has been with for the past 11 years.

His first experience as a judge was at Quest for the Best 13 years ago. He continues to support Mixology and Flair bartending events around the country and enjoys seeing the craft of the cocktail grow in exposure and respect.
