17-year wine industry veteran, marketing and communications professional management consultant. Currently based in Northern California wine country but traveling back to Spain and Italy semi-regularly. I work with wine industry, travel/tourism, and international language school clients on marketing strategy, growth marketing, and overall marketing and communications development. I love helping regions, businesses, and brands that I'm passionate about to be more successful-drive more visibility and brand awareness, attract more leads and sales, and increase the efficiency and quality of their marketing and digital efforts. Outside of my core work in marketing consulting, I do some freelance writing for print and digital publications (including my own blog) focused on artisan food and drink, and travel (regional guides, artisan food or drink focused itineraries, etc.). When I’m not working you can find me hiking, studying Spanish or Italian, or drinking a good glass of wine somewhere near the ocean.

I am looking for:
*to connect with fellow entrepreneur marketers/communications/journalism professionals
*wine industry, travel/tourism, or language school businesses who need help marketing their (unique and amazing) businesses
*publications to connect with and write for regularly
