I started my career in the industry in 2012 as the Store Manager for the no longer existing, G-Will Liquors Brooklyn Park. I learned my basics in the industry here and am incredibly grateful for my time there. My start at the store has been the biggest advantage to how I operate on the supplier side. I went from G-Will, to Anheuser Busch Corporate, where I started out as the wholesaler manager for ND and Northwestern MN. After a couple years in that position, I was promoted to Independent Key Account Manager in MN calling on large independent liquor stores and local chains in the MN/ND market. After my time at Anheuser-Busch came to an end, I was the Gambrinus Brands(Shiner Beer) Mid-west region manager for 8 years overseeing everything in the MN/ND/SD market, both wholesaler and Chains. Last summer, I made the switch to Looner THC because being very honest, as someone who was in 1,000's of accounts a year, the writing was on the wall regarding craft beer trends and THC trends. I am currently the Regional Sales Director for Looner THC covering all of the Mid-west, and also managing all Key Accounts for our wholesaler based in Minneapolis, GRD, which is a THC exclusive wholesaler.
