“Be not astonished at new ideas; for it is well known to you that a thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many.” ~Spinoza

I specialize in integrated marketing and sales management.

I believe marketing and sales are part of a revenue-generating continuum, and should never be siloed.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles.

I now live in Southern California.

I have an amazing wife and an energetic Black Lab.

I am attracted to innovation and overcoming obstacles to success.

I am endlessly curious, and believe in the value of asking copious questions as well as continuing education whenever possible.

I am pursuing an MBA part-time at the University of California, Riverside’s A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management.

I have worked with alcohol producers, suppliers, distributors, and retailers since 2011.

I believe the alcoholic beverage industry occupies a unique confluence of art, science, history, and culture.

I have an expansive home bar as a result of innovating marketing technology for the alcoholic beverage industry.

I received Level 2 certification, with merit, from the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET), and am continuing to Level 3.

I was part of one of the most amazing teams ever at Slingr.

I ran business development and marketing as a founder of Slingr.

I currently head the marketing team here and here, in Temecula Valley Wine Country, and eventually here.

I believe most traditional advertising is still just a variant of 3,000 year old methods.

I believe technology — especially mobile — has opened the door to entirely new marketing and sales visions.

I am trained in consultative and solution sales.

I think behavioral economics is fascinating.

I seek out teams with cohesive visions, clear value propositions & a shared desire to grow.
