I have been married to the love of my life for 28 years and have four adult children. As the name implies, I reside in Nashville, TN. My occupation for the past four decades has been in Music Promotion. For nearly the last twenty years I have been in Country Music and am currently employed by Nashville’s largest artist management company. I’m fortunate enough to be involved with some of Country Music’s biggest stars. Over the years I’ve worked with some huge heritage acts- Bob Seger, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, Kiss, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Poison, Heart + many others. In my current position, I get to work with Chris Stapleton, Luke Bryan, Lainey Wilson, Jon Pardi, Jordan Davis, Lee Brice, and Parker McCollum, and some of the best managers and social media ninjas Music City has to offer.
I have always had a curiosity about whiskey. I fell in love with the aroma, the taste, the history, and the process. Normally I travel consistently with my job. Then Covid hit and you could immediately smell the brake dust. Concerts were canceled. Airlines ceased operations and who wanted to stay in a hotel? There was still work to do but I suddenly had some extra time on my hands. It was the perfect match to light my whiskey fuse. I took an online class to become a Bourbon Steward. I learned a lot. When Covid lifted, I traveled to Louisville to attend in-person classes to achieve my Certified Executive Bourbon Steward status. I learned even more. This quickly went from a hobby to a passion.
