Fourteen years ago, I transitioned from a career as a golf professional in Southern California and moved my family to Paso Robles to pursue my dream of working in the wine industry. My journey began at Halter Ranch Vineyard, where I served as Tasting Room Manager and Wine Club Manager. In these roles, I helped establish Halter Ranch as a leading brand in Paso Robles while gaining hands-on experience across winery, vineyard, and wholesale operations.

After seven and a half years, I sought new opportunities for growth and, in 2018, joined Thacher Winery & Vineyard as General Manager. In this role, I oversee all sales channels and daily operations, while continuing to expand my knowledge alongside our winemaking team.

In addition to my professional work, I am deeply committed to advancing education and awareness within the Paso Robles wine community. For more than 11 years, I have volunteered with the Rhone Rangers organization in various capacities, serving as its National President from 2020 to 2022. I continue to serve on the Board of Directors, supporting the organization’s mission to promote and educate about Rhône varietals.
