I have been in the wine industry for 18 years now and have gained a wealth of knowledge in the wine industry and have produced results and contributions for each company I have worked for. I have specialized wine knowledge and the ability to research and expand in every state in the U.S. as well as some countries. I am also an experienced sommelier! I am a frequent participant in wine charity tastings and networking events, and I am able to negotiate with business partners, have strong communication skills and a long-term vision, and I am able to recognize opportunities and trends in the marketplace ahead of time and make bold and decisive efforts to try them out. I have the spirit of continuous learning, and I am interested in any new things and take action to try them out! Outdoor sports are one of my favorite hobbies, biking, hiking, kayaking, camping, exploring, and skiing are all things I'm currently doing!
