NATIONAL SALES DIRECTOR
My career in the wine business began at 15; however, while at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas I double majored in Hospitality Management and Philosophy. Moving on to the Court of Master Sommeliers the “brass tacks” of wine have always been interesting to me. Although, it is the passion and the stories that go into each bottle of Piattelli that keep me living my passion everyday.
