What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my experience building consumer businesses, strategic partnerships, revenue, and high-performance teams in a commercially focused leadership role.

I've founded and scaled Grafted Cellars and Ogopogo Brewing into beverage and hospitality businesses generating $3.1M+ in combined annual revenue across multiple locations.

At Grafted Cellars, I lead strategy, partnerships, sales, brand development, operations, and customer experience. At Ogopogo Brewing, I built the company from concept while developing distributor, vendor, account, and customer relationships and leading product launches and multi-function teams.

My background also includes professional baseball through Triple-A and international competition in Taiwan, bringing preparation, accountability, resilience, and performance under pressure to commercial leadership.
