Allow Me To (Re)Introduce Myself!

Welcome to the home of Bar Time Stories! After months of thinking, talking and thinking some more, I’ve finally done it.

In the early days of Instagram, when food porn reigned supreme, the contrarian that I am started taking photos of drinks. Looking back, those early photos look terrible, but I became obsessed. I took photos at every date night, business trip or guys’ night out. Some vacations began to include detours to well-known bars, others had whole days blocked out to do distillery tours, and along the way, I started to learn more and more about cocktails and spirits.

In 2017, I was between day jobs and had what some might call an “a-ha” moment. I spent the early part of my career writing about entertainment, so why not take that knowledge and apply it to the world of hospitality. I wrote for one great publication, then another and another (more on all of those later).

Thanks to a welcoming industry, persistence and the help of friends (both old and new), Bar Time Stories (a name that my wife came up with) has offered me some amazing opportunities over these last few years and my hope is that those opportunities never run out.

So here is to Bar Time Stories, where everyone can discuss culture behind spirits, cocktails and bars. Cheers!
