Born and raised in Connecticut, I grew up only a few towns away in New Fairfield. Come my mid-20's I found myself rather directionless in life, until by happenstance I came across a job opportunity for a small family run wine shop in Ridgefield. Having zero wine industry knowledge, I took a leap of faith and started my path here at Ancona's. Having been here for 9 years, I've learned a lot, but in particular fell in love with the beer side of the business, steadily building my way to help Mitch manage the ever changing and slightly chaotic world of craft beer. I love all beer, but as a mainstay find myself keeping it simple with a good ol' Narragansett or Dale's Pale Ale.

In my off time I enjoy a fairly easy lifestyle, enjoying my sports (Yankees and Giants) , the occasional outdoor activity, or hanging out with friends and family.
