I’m the co-owner of Southern Tail Brewing where we blend craft beer with elevated Southern hospitality. My path started with a love of gathering people and evolved into creating a space that feels welcoming, thoughtful and community-driven. Today, I focus on shaping experiences from menu to atmosphere that keep guests coming back.
The moment I saw people linger — laughing, connecting, ordering one more round — I realized creating spaces for connection wasn’t just work, it was something I truly loved.
Take care of your people and they’ll take care of everything else. That mindset has guided every decision I’ve made.
Details matter, and how you make people feel lasts longer than anything else. Great service isn’t complicated. It’s thoughtful, consistent and genuine.
Hospitality is intentional. It’s not just food and drinks. It’s creating an experience where people feel genuinely welcomed, comfortable and excited to return.
Community Cats of Arkansas. Their volunteers, kitten program and medical rehabilitation are exceptional. Both of my “tripods” are Community Cat adoptions.
Balancing creativity with consistency, making sure every guest experience feels special, even on the busiest days, while continuing to grow and evolve the business.
Seeing Southern Tail become a place people choose for celebrations, gatherings and everyday moments. It’s incredibly fulfilling to be part of those memories.
I love to bake. Getting quiet, being alone and decorating a cake or inventing a new recipe helps me reset and recharge creatively.
Step back, simplify the problem and focus on the next right action instead of the whole picture.
The people, our team and our guests. No two days are the same, and there’s something incredibly rewarding about being part of so many meaningful moments.
