The Author & Footie

AUTHOR BIO

J.R. Krablin received an MBA in International Management in 1996 from Thunderbird in Glendale, Arizona, and has over twenty-six years of financial, marketing, Business Development and management experience.

Krablin began his career in advertising and caught the “wine bug” from one of his clients.  As a result, he went on to work in the beverage industry, learning the business from the ground up while managing a successful wine and spirits store, and later running an importer and distributor of European and South American wines. After, Krablin spent almost a decade in higher education, driving unprecedented auxiliary service growth and has since continued in unique development and operational roles for two billion-dollar startups.

In addition to his day job, Krablin is certified by the US Sommelier Association as a Foundation Level Sommelier and has taught wine appreciation courses and popular Beverage Management and Beverage Fundamentals courses, held lectures on revenue growth, and served as a keynote speaker. He is also an avid outdoor enthusiast, custom furniture builder, and now an author.
