My background is in veterinary medicine and chemistry, so naturally I’m in the wine business!  (Oh the strange road of life!)

My favorite region for enjoying a bottle from is almost any region in Italy because the combination of the culture, the food, the history, and the wines is what fascinates me the most.

Beyond work anything in the great outdoors is loved by me, but especially Minnesota winters: I love snow and all the recreation that comes with it (downhill skiing, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing).  My malamute/husky mix also appreciates the white cold powder like I do!
