Why trust me?
I did the studying so you don’t have to
I currently hold a Level 3 Award in Wines through the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET). After receiving my pretty pin and certificate, I decided I wanted to learn more. So, I currently have my nose firmly within the pages of the textbook (and in some delicious glasses of wine… of course!) studying for my Certified Specialist of Wine Exam. I also hold a Certificate in the Business of Wine through San Diego State University.
Beyond wine, I hold a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics from The University of Alabama and a M.S. in Engineering Management from National University.
What can I say? I have a love of learning… but even more importantly, I love sharing my knowledge.
