Wine industry veteran turned booze culture storyteller, blending over 15 years of experience in hospitality, retail, and distribution with a passion for the people, places, and histories behind the bottle. With a sommelier’s nose for nuance and a crate digger’s love of the deep cut, I write about wine, spirits, and all things fermented — from the roots of regional traditions to modern-day drinking culture.

Whether profiling an offbeat brewer in Kalamazoo, unpacking the philosophy of pét-nat, or tracing the cultural parallels between mezcal and jazz, my work lives at the intersection of terroir and soul.

I’m also the founder of a bespoke wine subscription service.

Specialties: Beer, wine and spirits writing, producer profiles, cultural commentary, travel essays, tasting notes, wine & food pairing features, regional explorations, beverage brand storytelling and general tomfoolery with a splash of debauchery.
