Starting my career in the hospitality industry of sunny California, I found my true calling in the vineyards of Texas in 2017. The world of wine, once intimidating, opened up to me with its rich tapestry of flavors, aromas, and stories. As I served guests at Hilmy Cellars in Fredericksburg, Texas, I discovered the joy of sharing these stories over a glass of wine.My journey took me from being a friendly face at the tasting bar to the Tasting Room Manager, all the while immersing myself in the local songwriting community and music scene. Performing weekly at local venues and wineries, I found a unique harmony between the rhythm of music and the melody of wine.In 2020, I moved to Missouri to delve deeper into the art of winemaking at Crown Valley Winery. Here, I’ve had the privilege of learning from some of the best in the industry and meeting incredible people. Today, as the winemaker at Crown Valley, I continue to explore this fascinating world of wine. Missouri, with its vibrant wine culture, has proven to be a hidden gem in my journey.From California to Texas, and now Missouri, my journey in the world of wine has been nothing short of amazing. Join me as we explore this journey together, one glass at a time.
