Find me mixing drinks and training our amazing bar staff at Desert Ridge this winter.
Favorite drink to make: Bourbon Sazerac
I’d most like to mix a drink for Larry Fitzgerald.
If I could have one superpower while working, it’d be to be fast like the Flash, but have it look like a dance.
If I were a flavor, I’d be spicy.
My biggest bartending fail: While cleaning the restaurant for closing, I locked myself out of the building taking out the trash.
My top drink and food recommendation to guests: An Old Fashioned with a grilled entrée. I enjoy a great dining experience and love to share that passion with others.
When I’m not working, I enjoy sipping local craft beers or an Old Fashioned.
My favorite place in town for drinks is Arizona Distilling.
