Andrew fell in love with the beverage & alcohol industry over 30 years ago, and has devoted his professional life to it, with 28 years as a leader, mentor, trainer & coach. With over 20 years in hospitality operations overseeing nightclubs, cocktail bars, pubs, liquor stores and premium restaurants, including 8 years with the Granville Entertainment Group in Vancouver.

6 years in beverage alcohol sales with PMA Canada and Breakthru Beverages, Andrew worked coaching a team selling world-class brands such as Johnny Walker, Woodford Reserve, Glenfiddich, Ketel One, Piper Heidsieck and Heineken. Highly skilled in both Retail and On Premise sales, he left PMA after serving as BC Sales Manager, and Western Canada On-Premise Sales Manager. Having a passion for both wine and spirits and holding his WSET 3 with distinction, Andrew has led training and education sessions for both consumers and national sales teams and is a natural teacher and storyteller. The South Okanagan became home when he made the move to Summerland with his family in 2022.

Andrew’s love for coaching & community led to embracing his athletic roots and coaches for both the Penticton Track & Field Club and the Penticton Pinnacles Soccer Club. He looks forward to meeting more of the South Okanagan community and spreading the love of quality beverage.
