I am currently a Level 4 Diploma Candidate with the Wine & Spirits Educational Trust (WSET) and have certificates in Wine Education & Management from UCLA, The Wine Scholars Guild (French and Spanish Wines) and Court of the Masters Sommeliers.  

I have served as a wine judge for the International Competition Grenaches du Monde, Orange County Fair home winemakers competition and the US Amateur Winemakers Competition for Cellarmasters of Los Angeles.

I’m also a proud member of the Writers Guild of America, and have written some pretty fun computer games.
