Growing up in the heart of one of the premiere wine regions in the world, I guess you can say it was only natural for me to have an unconditional affinity for viticulture and terroir. Being born and raised close to the borders of the grand Napa Valley, I feel as if wine runs in my blood, even though it's not my family's business. In reality, I taught myself everything I know about the world of wine, from the vine to the bottle, with the guidance and grooming of my mentors, along with doing a handful of harvests with several different wineries in Napa Valley.  

 

As a result of traveling to Mexico from the time I was little, Mexican tradition, lifestyle and influence left a monumental imprint on me and became intertwined in my inspiration and appreciation for purity and beauty in all aspects of life. To no surprise, once I unveiled and explored the connection between the wine world, agave spirits, and spirit cultivation as a whole, my passion for discovering, experiencing and sharing the inspiring stories captured in a bottle only rooted itself in my identity and evolved like the earth from a seed spreading joy and true expression of nature.

 

Ever since those first steps were pivoted in a culture in which I was born to thrive, I haven’t looked back once nor been more passionate in my life. I have continued on my quest of approaching the wonderful world of wine, spirits and events with almost every aspect, angle and perspective imaginable, which has led me directly toward a challenging yet exceptionally rewarding path. My natural admiration and joy for the wine and spirits world is infectious like the sun and my energetic hunger to learn and share all there is to know about wine and agave spirits cultivation, from making to pairing to enjoying is as strong as a vine and deep as a root. I know my future is bright and full of growth; and I would whole heartedly love, appreciate and value the opportunity to gratefully and respectfully become a consultant and beacon for your company.   Cheers!
