THL: What are your other gigs and interests?

Music production, photography, and court-mandated community service.

THL: What is something that best represents your personality?

My publicist.

THL: What is your bartending style?

My drinks, preposterous,
Light, like phosphorus
Sauce in us
Charged like a mad rhinoceros,
Bust caps like Jay-z
Of beer like Hazy
10 people deep at the rush
Don't phase me
Jump rope to scope
This evening's booze show
You know,
Can't have just one like uno
With doubles like Decker
Twists like Checker
Names like Diamondback
And Homewrecker
Approachable, in oratory
Novel and exploratory
Happy to guide you through
The beverage inventory — peace.

THL: How do you find inspiration for new cocktails and recipes?

Interestingly enough, The Wall Street Journal. The worse my portfolio does, the more inspired I feel to create a strong drink.

THL: Besides bartending, what things do you do well?

Starts with "F" and ends with "acebook"

THL: Ever had any strange customer requests while bartending?

No joke — a virgin martini…dirty.

THL: What is your favorite after-shift drink?

An Alka-Seltzer, tall, garnished with an Ibuprofen and lemon twist.

THL: What is the one thing you can’t live without from your home liquor cabinet?

I know this will be a very common answer, but I have to go with everyone else on this one and say Midori.

THL: What is the most underrated cocktail?

The Gin and Tonic — until the day that bars start making their tonic in house.

THL: What is the test of a great bartender?

Using only the available assortment of creamers and Coffee Mate flavors, a great bartender has the uncanny ability to create a balanced, thoughtful, artisan coffee drink in any gas station across the country.
