As the editor for Nightclub&Bar Media Group, a division of Questex Media Group, I assign, edit and write content for our website, Nightclub.com.

Writing about trends in the hospitality industry, spirits and craft beer helped me begin my career as a wine steward/sommelier in Beverly Hills. I develop relationships with vendors and distributors, merchandise the department, choose new products to offer my clientele, study wine, spirits, craft beers and industry trends, develop relationships with and educate my clientele, track inventory and make certain my department is clean and organized. I maintain an average growth rate of over 20 percent which exploded to almost 50 percent between the months of August and October. During the summer of 2014 I became a full supporter and the number one seller of Moët Ice Impérial, a world-first champagne designed to be poured over ice. As of November 2014 I'm one of the few wine stewards in Southern California with access to the rare and elegant Richard Hennessy and Paradis Impérial cognacs produced by Hennessy.
