Welcome to my new website and my very first blog post!  This has been an amazingly busy summer full of new opportunities and I’m excited to share a few of them with you.  

I’ve just returned to Chicago after a week away at summer camp.  Just like the kiddies, I, too, packed my bags and headed to camp…bourbon camp, that is.  And no, bourbon camp isn’t just me with a bottle of bourbon in a tent!  It’s a complete immersion program where dozens of the most talented bartenders and mixologists from across the country come together for the love of their craft.  In one week, I experienced tons of once-in-a-lifetime moments combined with layers of industry insight. Think more bourbon university than bourbon camp.
