I was born and raised in south Minneapolis, where I still live with my wife Crystal and dog George. Before joining The Wine Company, I worked in retail for 15 years and developed a mantra of drinking more, but better wine. Away from work I love all things golf, baseball, eating, Muppets, traveling and books.
