Seth Hendrickson

I have been lucky enough to be on all sides of the Beverage Industry, from being a GM and selecting entire menu options with various Beer/Wine/Liquor line-ups to brewing beer to the Sales side as well. I wholeheartedly believe that having experience from all angles is a key in forming meaningful and lasting relationships whether it be with vendors, accounts or individuals. Constantly being aware of your all of your surroundings and understanding/recognizing that you next big client or sale may be sitting right in front of you, is essential in this business. I take great pride in knowing that any client of mine will walk away happy and recommend me to the next person, forging the path to excellence.
