Dedicated to developing wine lovers everywhere. I have a particular fondness of the Loire Valley, but I do not limit myself. “Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.” Thank you PC.

I am an engaged leader of people, a student, an educator and the biggest fan of my three children. I have dedicated the last 25 years of my professional life to the wine industry and I am still excited about this industry and the potential it holds.
I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto, but the best lessons have come from life outside of the classroom. I like new challenges and seek out adventure.
I am am addicted to the beauty of the Yucatán and would like to connect with Sommeliers in Mexico.
