bartender of the month...

My passion, creativity and love of my craft has been so rewarding over the last 30 years, I need to pinch myself to make sure that I’m not just dreaming.

I have been with the Fairmont for 24 years tending bar at the Southampton Fairmont, The Waterlot Inn and now the Hamilton Fairmont. What keeps me going are the guests I have had the pleasure of meeting over the years. I have been involved in a number of mix logy contests and have won many of them. Just recently I was awarded the 2008 VIP award for the Bartender of the Year. That just shows me that I’m not ready to be set out to pasture yet. I think that you just get better with age. Just like a great bottle of wine.
