They strongly encouraged creativity and his passion to "attempt" to improve everything he touched. After graduating with a business degree from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana in 1998, he eagerly traded the snow for the beach and moved to Hilton Head Island. Almost immediately he immersed himself in the restaurant and bar industry allowing his creativity and passion to improve to run rampant. This brought him to the Bloody Mary industry. He wasn't happy with products in the market, so the quest began to create a Bloody Mary mix to end all Bloody Mary mixes. He didn't know much, but what he did know is that it had to be superior. It had to be different. So, it was created as an elite Bloody Mary as well as a unique cooking component to be used in the culinary industry.
