Hello, I'm James.
Friendly, wildcard bartender. Useful in any environment or situation. I've bartended in three countries. I've worked on boats, large music events and have single-handedly run a craft cocktail bar. I love to travel and am open to relocating.
My background as a craft beer brewer has left me with an extensive knowledge of fermentation and all things beer. Before brewing I spent years in sales and hospitality. So client engagement is a forte of mine. I'm accustomed to long hours and fast paced work environments. However, I am just as comfortable in slower paced, more personable atmospheres. I've bartended in three different countries and hope to add many more.
