Jeffrey joined the Foley Wine Group family in February
2008 as the Midwest Regional Manager bringing with him
over 12 years of industry experience. I received my
degrees in culinary arts from CIA and hospitality
management from FIU. After working for years in the
hospitality industry as a chef and restaurant manager I
made the move to the distributor side. I felt my
background and passion for wine are what made me
successful at the distributor level.
Originally a St. Louis, MO native, Jeffrey would find
himself living in Miami for the next 20+ years working in
both the hospitality industry as well as with wine and
spirits distributors. It was here in Miami that I met my
wife Cyndi, a Chicago native, and where our son Nicolas
was born.
Most recently having worked as State Business Manager
as well as a portfolio manager for a Florida distributor,
Jeffrey managed Firestone Vineyard business for a period,
realizing new heights in case sales. So it was no
surprise that when I heard of the sale of Firestone, the
formation of what is now the Foley Wine Group, and that
there was an opportunity for me and my family in Chicago,
I jumped at the chance. After meeting with FWG I realized
that they really had a family feel, and that is very
important to me. It was a quick and easy choice. And the
best is yet to come..
