Personal Introduction
I’m a South Carolina-based attorney that has practiced law since 2007 in both transactional and litigation roles, and have worked with hundreds of F&B clients from small start-ups to national brands, and mostly with breweries, wineries, distilleries, distributors, and retailers. I also talk the talk, and might have some street cred, having served as co-founder of Greenville Craft Beer Week, president of the Craft Beer Attorney Coalition, president of the Upstate Brewtopians homebrew club, and as the inaugural Executive Director of the South Carolina Brewers Guild. I enjoy central coast zinfandel, aged rum, Oxford commas, and if needed, can brew a passable IPA.
