Do you have any phobias?

Heights

Worst pick up line you have heard?

“Are you in finance?” It didn’t even make sense.

Best pickup line:

How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice. Cheesy, but I’ve heard it in use and it always gets a chuckle.

What’s your favorite North Dakota event?

It’s a toss-up between Rib Fest and Whiskey Fest.

What is the best thing about bartending?

My favorite thing about bartending is meeting people from all over.

Sage bartender advice:

Listening is just as important as talking to our guests.
