Co-founder & Head of Whiskey Production, Dave is a co-founder and heads up all facets of whiskey production. As kids growing up on a working farm, Dave and his brother Will made cider from apples that grew on the property. It wasn't long before an appreciation for cider lead to an appreciation for hard cider. That lead to experimentation with apple brandy, which they crafted using a small one-gallon still. Dave proved particularly adept at the science of fermentation, distillation, and aging. He has overseen the research, development, and launch of their award-winning spirits and, in 2017, shifted roles to focus exclusively on whiskey production.
