“It all started at the tender age of 12, when I started mixing drinks for my dad's wrap parties. The drinks were terrible. Nobody cared. It was the '70's.

Fast forward to the Naughties, when I realised that a cocktail could be so much more than booze in a cup. I learned from the masters and honed my skills as a mixologist in San Francisco. I wanted to share this knowledge with everyone, so in 2012 I started a business giving mixology labs for private parties and corporate events. I also ran a regular mixology workshop at The Sea Star in Beautiful Downtown Dogpatch. My business partner and I were billed as "two of San Francisco's finest mixologists".

Since then, I have taught mixology lessons and mixed cocktails in places as far away and exotic as Pattambi, India; Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i; and Denver, Colorado. (In Pattambi I also taught a wedding party the Electric Slide, but that's another story.)

I want everyone to know how to mix a great cocktail. Even if you never make your own cocktails, you can use the skills you learn to order drinks like a pro, and truly appreciate a well-made and properly balanced mixed drink. Life is too short for bad cocktails.”
