Origin story

Age 13

I started working in restaurants when I was 13, beginning in a local breakfast diner in Toronto. From there, I worked across a mix of places — coffee shops, lunch spots, and bars — getting experience in different types of service and learning how things actually run day-to-day.

Years later

Over time, that shaped how I approach hospitality. Not just from a creative side, but from an operational one — understanding how service flows, how teams work together, and how the small details really impact the overall experience.

Into events

I started working in events, and I saw the opportunity to bring that experience into a different environment. Events require a different level of structure, where preparation and execution matter just as much as the drinks themselves.

In The Mix

I started In The Mix as a way to bring all of that together. What I had been doing for years in restaurants translated naturally into building bar programs and event services that are not just creative, but actually work in real service.

Now

Everything I do is grounded in that experience — close to 20 years in hospitality, focused on creating bar programs and event experiences that feel polished, run smoothly, and make sense behind the bar.

Chapter Two

From service to systems.

After years working in hospitality, my approach naturally evolved beyond just service. I started focusing more on how things are built — from menu structure to workflow — and how those decisions impact the way service actually runs.

Built around the guest experience

We're not just here to serve drinks — we're here to create experiences.

Great hospitality is about how everything comes together — from the atmosphere, to the flow of service, to how the guest feels from start to finish.

Service should be attentive, efficient, and personable.

Every detail should support the overall experience.

Good service should feel effortless.

At the end of the day, the guest experience is at the forefront of everything.
