Athens born, I have had English high school education in Alexandria, Egypt. I discontinued my medical studies in the relevant faculty in Athens, whilst working in some of the best restaurants of Greece, to follow my passion in the wine industry.

I started building my knowledge in wine and spirits at WSPC in Athens.

In 2013 I moved in Henry the VIII’s castle outside Bristol, England, where I was in charge of the restaurant and cellar.

When I was ready, I settled in London, working in some of the best restaurants in the world in the heart of the wine business, focusing on Indian cuisine.

After the pandemic, I had the opportunity to travel to various locations around the world for work, with a focus on Asian gastronomy. Having great love and respect for Japanese culture, I also started getting into sake professionally.

Today, I continue this journey as Head of Wine for one of the most well-recognized and successful groups in hospitality worldwide. I am also a WSET certified sake educator and part of the judging panel for various significant international wine and beer competitions.

I have a beautiful daughter who I love dearly and we spend quality time together when I’m not wearing a suit.

What little free time I have is divided between my hobbies of recording heavy metal music, martial arts, crossfit, painting&playing Warhammer as well as managing two anonymous startups I run in 3D printing and voice-overs.
