About the specialist

I've been working as a bartender since 2001. I've been working at off-site events since 2003. During this time, I've gained a wealth of experience and even appeared in several films, music videos, and commercials (almost always as a bartender). Why have I been in this profession for over 20 years? Because I absolutely love what I do. I love the enthusiastic cheers of guests, the applause, your standing ovations, your smiles, and the positive emotions. After all, that's so important for any celebration! Responsibility, punctuality, charisma, and a vibrant presentation are what clients choose me and my company for. Despite the specifics of my work, I choose a healthy lifestyle: I eat right, engage in active, extreme, and water sports, I don't forget about the gym, and I try to travel a lot. Which, by the way, I wish for everyone!
