Jake has worked closely with multiple brands, emphasizing spirits education, new product & recipe development, and event planning & coordination.
With additional experience ranging from the production side of distilling to on- and off-premise sales, Jake has a well-rounded understanding of all levels and sides of the bar and spirits industries.
John enjoyed popularity as a prolific Kansas City bartender before making the jump to liquor sales. As Director of Sales for a growing regional distillery, John maintained key on- and off-premise accounts across the country. John also worked in key sales roles for a national distributor before opening his own bar and event space.
John employs a true love of problem-solving and a tireless work ethic on each and every project he tackles. At the core of every new approach John develops is an analytical fascination with what makes products sell and restaurants run.
