Bright Cellars Careers

Ryan interned at several software companies in Milwaukee before he started full-time at Bright Cellars fresh out of college. He loves taking dog, Koa, to the park, rock climbing, snowboarding, and backpacking – as long as he’s got a good sci-fi book in his pack to pass the time.

James is normally a Moscow Mule drinker, but he’s excited to dip his toe into the world of wine. He graduated with a degree in history before realizing it wasn\'t really all that interesting to him, and learned to code with a friend\'s help. To him, working on code is like solving a really cool puzzle every day. He enjoys rock climbing, reading, and lounging with his cat, Iggy.

Jake helps manage electronic artists outside of Bright Cellars and is very involved in the Milwaukee music scene, but has wine experience as well – his last job was the wine and cheese associate manager at a local Milwaukee food market. He loves collecting records and going to concerts as often as he can.

Associate Wine Concierge

Karis was raised in Houston, TX and is really good at hanging pictures without a level (she’s got the touch). When she’s not helping to manage several regional anime conventions, winning trivia, or snacking on poutine, she’s in her pajamas drinking a glass of Cabin 5 Zinfandel and eating Margherita pizza.

Izzy was born and bred in the Bronx and proud of it. But she also loves Milwaukee, mainly because it’s Wisconsin’s biggest city, but also because it’s amazing. Her favorite Bright Cellars memory was when she clinched flip-cup victory for her team at the employee retreat. Her favorite Bright Cellars wine? Obscura Petite Sirah. Her favorite place to drink it? Whenever, wherever *Shakira voice*

Associate Wine Concierge

Ali loves watching scary movies, exploring Milwaukee, and hanging out with her 12-pound mutt, Moo. She especially loves Milwaukee in the summertime – there’s live music everywhere, tasty food, and tons of people. Her favorite Bright Cellars wine is the Obscura Petite Sirah, which she had never even heard of before working here! See, even our employees discover new wine they love!

Morgan’s got good taste: Her favorite wine pairing is wine (any kind) with pie (any kind). Can’t argue with that logic. She loves cooking and exploring Milwaukee with her husband. When she’s not traversing the city, find her up north boating with her family at their cottage while indulging in her favorite wine: the Worst Evils Red Blend.

Assistant Wine Concierge

Jade’s loved working at Bright Cellars since day one. But her second day was even better, since we had an Irish whiskey tasting that afternoon to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! She enjoyed the whiskey, but she’s a wine girl through and through. Her favorite Bright Cellars wine is the Acquaforte Sangiovese 2019, and her favorite wine pairing is a succulent steak with a hearty Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s a classic for a reason.

Kim spent the summer of 2017 living in Manchester, England for her husband’s job, before starting her career with Bright Cellars. Kim previously spent eight years working in the Audit Practice of a Big 4 Public Accounting firm in Milwaukee, and became a Certified Health Coach! When she’s not crushing the finance game at Bright Cellars, Kim enjoys traveling, going to spin, crew and TRX classes, and checking out new MKE bars and restaurants.

VP of Finance

Morgan was born and raised in Madison, but made the move to Milwaukee to play D1 soccer at for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. But there’s no regret about moving – she loves Milwaukee summers for the many festivals (we are the city of Festivals, after all). Her favorite Bright Cellars wine is the Worst Evils Napa Valley Cabernet, and her favorite place to imbibe is her living room, catching up on her embarrassingly addictive TV shows (think The Bachelor, Grey’s Anatomy, etc.).
