Learn MoreI love the industry for many reasons but there's one above the rest that will never change. Getting to meet people from around the world with so many different personalities and backgrounds takes it above all. My passion is for the people.
What is your favorite drink to make and why?If I were to make a drink for myself it would be a neat glass of bourbon. Personally I don't think anything else beats it. But when It comes to making something for my guest it would be something I've never made before. As I love to learn and expand my knowledge about the craft.
What would you do with the $20,000?I would use the prize money as a down payment for a house. I would like to give my son a solid foundation to grow up in a place he would call home.
