Have you done this sort of thing before, or are you a noob?

I was a bartender in Brookings at Pints and Quarts for a little over a year when I was attending South Dakota State. I enjoyed it a ton and made some great relationships throughout my time there.

Tell us your favorite drink!

My favorite drink really depends on the occasion. Odds are I’m either going with an old fashioned, crown apple on the rocks, or vodka soda.

What's your biggest fear about bartending?

I don’t have any fears of bartending after doing it but getting slammed when you’re working alone and running out of glassware was never a fun time.
