I am a fairly unique entity in the bar, beverage, and event industries, and I leverage that in everything I do. I utilize 35+ years of F&B experience, a Thunderbird MBA, non-F&B corporate experience, and my international background to build my companies and provide my clients and business partners with the best services in the industry. I run and own both my bar and cocktail event production companies, am an operating partner with Fresh Victor, and advise several clients in the beverage industry: -Elixir (The Hache Group, LLC) - An exceptional, historic, multi-award winning, yet welcoming, neighborhood saloon with a deep whisk(e)y and spirits collection, a pioneering cocktail program, and a friendly, experienced staff. -Cocktail Ambassadors, LLC - A beverage industry consulting company that focuses on brand and product development, beverage trade education programs, professional spirits and cocktail judging, and brand representation / ambassadorship to the public and trade.
