Managing Editor

I am the managing editor at Cigar Dojo, making sure all cigar reviews and articles meet the Dojo standards. Aside from my major passions (premium cigars and Kentucky Straight Bourbon), I enjoy photography/videography, as well as playing ice hockey and spending time with my family—which currently includes two boys, two girls, and one amazing wife.
