The pioneer of flair bartending, Dean also created Flairco, Inc., where he invented the original Flairco Flair Bottle. Dean’s creation is now used by thousands of flair bartenders worldwide, as well as the phrase “Finest Call Stall,” which has become a staple move in flair bartending competitions.

Hosting more than 100 bartending competitions, Dean has become an expert on bar-related topics, presenting at nationwide conferences like Cheers and Nightclub & Bar.
Now in his eleventh year as our director of beverage applications, Dean enjoys working directly with beverage managers and chain accounts on cocktail placements in many of today's leading and up-and-coming restaurants. Due to his innovative and forward-thinking cocktail creations, many of these concepts are enjoying record sales and industry awards. Since joining our team, Dean has enjoyed the opportunity to explore and expand his creativity in cocktail design. His spirited innovations in the art and practical applications of beverage programs make him a KEY resource to our national accounts sales team, as well as our customers at home who enjoy crafting the perfect cocktail.
