My formal training is in the law. Currently, I am the CEO of Domaine Detroit Brands, LLC . Also, I am the Excursion Ambassador and a Wine Ambassador for the House of Pure Vin. I was the wine consultant for Brix Wine & Charcuterie Boutique. I am still working on a magazine that showcases Detroit's growing hospitality choices, while I provide beverage consulting for other projects under development. I want my life to embody the following quotes: Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. Niccolo Machiavelli “Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” Winston Churchill “Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.” John Wooden “Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” Heraclitus Specialties: I specialize in passing on knowledge to others via formal and informal tasting events. To me, wine and spirit education involves discovering what each individual likes or loves about that beverage. Wine/Spirit Education should not be limited to discussions on terroir and the right stemware for the right wine/spirit. While providing knowledge, I am able to expose brands that have not been shown to the demographic that I represent. I want my patrons to drink what they like.
