Our Team

A seasoned veteran of the wine industry, Dan has spent 18 years of his life devoted to fine wine. He has run the gamut working for prestigious high profile distributors as well as large, high pressure, priority brand, number-driven distributors.

Dan is used to the rain of the West Coast. He began his sales career as an on premise sales representative in Washington State, where his feet grew webbed and his sales grew larger.

In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s Dan was the on and off premise territory manager for Noble Wines and later for Columbia Distributing. As Dan’s responsibilities increased so did his sales, and he continually achieved improved sales goals.

From 2002 to 2004 Dan was Territory Manager for Winebow. He managed the sales of 80 suppliers and supported 35 sales people across Washington. Again, sales increased and exceeded expectations. A constant in the marketplace, Dan conducted educational seminars for key accounts and staff personnel throughout the state.

Prior to joining Northwest Core Collection in 2005 Dan was the NW Regional Manager for Fredrick Wildman and Sons. During his tenure, Dan managed 25 distributors in 7 states.

Dan received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Phoenix in Business Management in 2003. Dan will be responsible for the West Coast market, but his focus will be on any city that receives less than 8 inches of rain a month.
