Growing up, my family always threw massive parties, and while other kids were playing tag, I was completely obsessed with the behind-the-scenes action. I loved the planning, organizing the bar setups, running around making sure everyone had a full glass, and chatting up every single person in the room.

To me, throwing a party is so much more than just a random place to eat and drink. It’s your chance to show the world exactly who you are. It’s a space to connect with the people you love, make meaningful (and sometimes hilarious) memories, and just feel good. I simply love to celebrate and make things feel special.

My love for a good celebration eventually turned into a serious career. I spent years working as a product specialist for major liquor and beverage brands, helping launch everything from Tito’s Vodka and Bud Light Platinum to Fireball Whiskey (yes, I have stories). Working with the biggest names in the industry taught me one major thing: every single detail matters.

I care deeply about quality, but I care just as much about having fun.

That is exactly why I started The Standard. I took my deeply organized personality and mixed it with my outgoing, fun-loving obsession for a great party. My goal? To take 100% of the bar stress completely off your hands.

You shouldn't be running around worrying about ice, garnishes, or whether the drinks taste right. You should be enjoying your guests, looking chic, and raising a glass. We handle the details; you just enjoy the bash.
