I am a graduate of California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo with dual degrees in Fruit Science and Crop Science, as well as a graduate of the California Ag Leadership Program, Class XXXI.  In addition to maintaining Rancho Ontiveros, I serve as Director of Sales and Marketing at Bien Nacido Vineyard, which is located on one of the original Ontiveros family land grants. I have experience in both large and small scale vineyard management, including service as Southern Sonoma Vineyard Manager for Gallo of Sonoma in the Russian River and Sonoma Coast appellations and in grower relations for Kendall Jackson Winery where my territory stretched from San Benito County to Santa Ynez. As an active advocate for local agriculture, I see vast, untapped viticultural potential in the ranches around Santa Maria, and I'm working to elevate the valley’s burgeoning reputation as a world-class region for wine.
