About Your Startender

With a long tenure as a bartender starting from my days as a U.S. Marine to current, I have served from behind the marble for 28 years! Always having a knack for bringing people together, I still use my extroverted personality to ensure the party continues. I have bartended in a plethora of environments to include dive bars, sports bars, bourbon houses, and random impromptu gatherings. I thoroughly enjoy having my creativity challenged when behind the bar.

Customer service has always been in my DNA and it is evident when I’m taking care of any guests in front of me. I am famous for turning a first-time guest into a long term regular and it all comes down to the experience provided.

And this is our promise to you! Living by these core values, we bring the same energy to each and every event to provide you that STAR treatment!

- Service with passion and enthusiasm
- Treat client and guests with genuine respect
- Aim for professional excellence
- Ready, reliable, and responsible
