After
receiving my B.S. in Radio/TV/Film from the University of Texas in Austin, I drove from Texas to Los Angeles
in the Summer of 1999 to make movies in Hollywood. I worked on films and then 7 years as an advertising
executive prior to entering this bartending career. I always aim to have fun in my work while performing to the
best of my abilities.
As a result, I have been a filmmaker, salesman
and now a mixologist. From 2006 - 2010, I provided exceptional service and tasty cocktails as the
Bartender of the Beacon Cocktail Lounge in Inglewood, California as well as many special events and parties throughout
Southern California.
We all have stress in our lives and my objective was to make sure that patrons who visit have a wonderful time.
I've realized that the work hours I spent was more about enjoying the time with customers offering a stress
free entertaining experience rather than just doing a job. Hopefully my efforts express it with intentions of making
the best of another day of a very limited existence.
