Fueled by a passion for sports, I pursued a professional basketball career that led me overseas. Representing my country and competing at the highest level, I embraced the thrill and challenges of the game. However, my journey also allowed me to connect with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, igniting a profound love for understanding and connecting with others on a personal level.

Having concluded my basketball career, I found myself captivated by Walla Walla’s thriving wine industry. The parallels between the artistry of winemaking and the teamwork required in sports intrigued me, and I was inspired by the remarkable individuals dedicated to crafting exceptional wines. This led me to redirect my passion for people and pursuit of excellence towards the wine industry. Today, I am fully immersed in the world of wine, combining my local knowledge, love for people, and commitment to providing extraordinary experiences. Guiding wine enthusiasts through vineyards, sharing the captivating stories behind each bottle, and witnessing the sheer delight on their faces as they discover new flavors has become the ultimate fulfillment of my journey. With each passing day, I am profoundly grateful for the opportunities this remarkable transition has afforded me and the privilege to share the beauty and passion of Walla Walla’s wine scene with others.
