Brad is the Owner and Chief Executive Officer at Oregon Spirit Distillers. In 2009, he and his wife Kathy embarked on the journey that would eventually create Central Oregon’s first grain to glass whiskey distillery. Local high desert grain and mountain water were easy to source. The region's unique climate provided plenty of corn, barley, wheat, and rye. Crisp and pure water from the Cascade Mountains was abundant. Brad’s passion for history, tradition, and quality is delivered in every drop that Oregon Spirit Distillers produces. After 10 years in the role of Head Distiller, he has passed the honor to his carefully selected distilling team. As the Owner, Brad can now focus on growing Oregon Spirit Distillers as a national brand and make time for his other passion, his family.
