I’ve just relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I am the Chief Mixologist for Nativo Lodge’s brand new Club Nativo. I’ve rocked everything from the smallest dives to a handful of some of the globe’s hottest venues in the last few years, honing my chops in a little town called Las Vegas. My “Spicy Secreto” and "Purple Reign" cocktails and other award-winning signature beverage experiences have become house standards in several venues. Along the way, some say I’ve earned a little bit of street cred, but I’m always concocting and never quit rocking. Hope to see you in my house sometime…
