Growing up in The Bay of California, I've always been drawn to creating—from building my platform bed in college to curating a maternity photo gallery. Bartending and photography are my main passions, both rooted in the desire to craft experiences and capture moments.

Like any young college kid wanting to drink and party, I pursued bartending upon turning 21. Training in craft cocktail bars opened my eyes to mixology as an art form, where barrel-aged cocktails and intricate infusions became my specialties.

Over the years, I've honed my skills across various bars and collaborated with event coordinators to provide exceptional service, whether for intimate weddings or large-scale corporate events. Each experience has enriched my cocktail codex and reinforced my commitment to delivering unparalleled hospitality and confidence to hosts.

When I'm not behind the bar, I find joy in capturing moments through photography, especially immersing myself in nature and capturing it from unique perspectives. My passion for photography began during college, where a black and white photography class not only sparked my interest but also led me to meet and fall in love with my wife, Anne. Over time, I've expanded into studio photography, collaborating with musicians, clothing brands, and occasionally capturing special moments like maternity shoots, family portraits, and engagements.

At Soiree Society, I bring a wealth of experience and a dedication to creating not just drinks, but unforgettable moments. Whether you're hosting a small gathering or a grand celebration, let me craft cocktails that reflect your vision and leave a lasting impression. Cheers to creating memorable experiences together!
