I am originally Canadian but have spent most of my life between Texas and Colorado. I have been bartending since I was 19 years old and have been bartending here in Denver for about 3 years. I love food and wanted to be a chef growing up so much of what I do with cocktails is inspired by culinary techniques and ideas. My dream is to become a beverage consultant and to travel around designing menus and helping with new concepts.
