  Master Distiller of Small Batch, Hand Crafted Artisan Vodka made from local Florida ingredients.With my entrepreneurial spirit, I co-founded the Florida CANE Distillery company where, over the past 10 years, we've successfully lobbied for two significant sets of modifications to the Florida State Liquor Laws that (1) provide a new category (Craft Distillery) for local manufacturers inside the state licensing system and (2) permit them to sell their products directly to visitors for both on-premise and off-premise consumption. Key Accomplishments:► Built one of Florida's first craft distilleries, offered great services, and established five distinct beverage brands, including vodka, gin, whiskey, rum, and moonshine, sold across Florida.► Built Florida's first craft distillery tasting room and attained 10K customers in less than nine months; acquired Disney vendor status by offering orange-flavored vodka to Disney-operated restaurants.► Increased company income and led the organization for Reg CF fundraising rounds by converting it from a partnership to a C-Corp.► Modified zoning laws in conjunction with Tampa City Council and Planning Commission to permit Craft Distilleries to utilize commercial premises.► Implemented a 12-month modernization strategy to ensure compliance of new business operations with Federal and State-prescribed processes, record retention standards, and automate manual production documentation procedures.► Boosted revenue and lower returns through product sales strategies, chain connections, and space gains.► Kept up-to-date inventory levels and set specifications for manufactured and purchased parts by performing inventory analysis to maintain warehouse operations.► Directed management operations, including preparing monthly reports, counseling and aiding sales management, and managing budgets and labor costs for inventories.
