Hi there! I am a Vancouver, BC based hospitality professional. Most recently, I was the general manager and sommelier at Bar Gobo in Vancouver. Before that, I ran the now closed Upstairs @ Campagnolo. I hold a B.Sc. in Geological Sciences from the University of British Columbia. In 2020, I won the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers British Columbia Sommelier of the Year competition. In July 2024, I passed the Advanced Sommelier examination of the Court of Master Sommeliers Americas.
I believe there is a beverage out there for everyone, whether it is a bottle of Grosses Gewachs Riesling, a barrel aged sour beer, an herbal amaro from Northeast Italy, an exquisitely sourced Phoenix Mountain oolong tea or a microlot coffee from Yirgachefe in Ethiopia. My passion is searching for these delicious things and serving them.
My work and projects have been published or featured in Wine & Spirits Magazine, the Globe and Mail, Canada’s 100 Best, Vancouver Magazine, the Vancouver Sun, Scout Magazine, the Georgia Straight, Ricardo Magazine, Montecristo among others.
