For Brian Kelleher, a passion for food and cooking naturally evolved into a career in the wine industry. Born and raised in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Brian worked his way through high school and college as a chef. His business career started with Sysco Foods and a subsequent position as Northwest Regional Manager at Vincor firmly established him in the wine world.

Prior to joining Wine Creek, Brian was National Sales Manager for a winery called Pietra Santa Winery in Hollister, California.  As a member of the management team he was involved in everything from building a national sales team and sales processes to roll-outs, planning, pricing, distributor programming and management.

Kelleher holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History from Colby College and also completed the Wine Executive Program at the University of California – Davis.  Brian lives in Los Banos, California with his wife and their two daughters. When he’s not out on the road, Brian relaxes by cooking, camping and fishing.
