Hi, I'm Chet
I've been pouring drinks and listening to stories for 35 years, at bars and restaurants across Minnesota, Mexico, Nashville, and Florida. These days I live in Bradenton, Florida.
Away from the bar you'll find me on a bicycle, a kayak, or a paddleboard. Or travelling whenever and wherever I can. The rest of my time goes to technology, computers, and a passable glass of whiskey.
Based in Bradenton, Florida.
What I love
- Biking
- Kayaking
- Paddleboarding
- Technology
- Computers
- Whiskey
- Scooters
- Fresh Tomatoes
- Bandanas
- Hawiian Shirts
- Golf (kind of)

Just 2 BeersMy silly, fun beer review series with Andre. It's on YouTube, and it's
amatuer and ridiculous.
Restaurant reviewsEfrain, Andre and I did a thing called 'Mystery Lunch' for a while.
I wrote about some of them on Medium.
Surviving the IndustryA book I wrote for people who are new to the restaurant
business. No one buys it, and I don't even actually like it, but I'm very happy that I wrote it. I learned
how to do it better next time.
An old biographyAn old story, from the way back times: Living in Mexico, hitchhiking
across the USA, and life on Fort Myers Beach in the 90's.

Phú Quốc island, Vietnam. Where I went scuba diving, got a ton of mosquito bites, and got Dengue Fever, which you do not want.
