Meet Your Instructor
"I've spent more than two decades working behind the bar in casinos, restaurants, sports bars, dive bars, private events, and high-volume service. Along the way, I've trained new bartenders and watched many people enter the industry believing it's something they can simply figure out as they go. They piece together information from random videos, conflicting advice, and on-the-job mistakes, without ever building a strong foundation. My goal is to bring structure, respect, and professionalism back to the craft by helping the next generation of bartenders build the right foundation from day one."
That's why you should choose Bedfords Bartending Basics & Fundamentals. Every lesson builds on the last, strengthening your foundation one step at a time so you develop confidence based on knowledge, not unnecessary trial and error.
