From a Career in the Navy, to the Art of the Bar

Before Epic Libations ever existed online, the craft began long before the camera. I served 27 years in the Navy, traveling across the world in more than 20 countries, experiencing hundreds of bars, cocktails, and brewing traditions. Those experiences shaped my appreciation for great drinks and the craftsmanship behind them.
