Wine Club & Culinary Program Manager

Originally from Indiana, Shaylan worked in marketing and event planning before pursuing his longtime dream of attending culinary school. During that time, he discovered his passion for the wine world — and a special affinity for cooler climate regions. He later moved to Boston where he owned and operated a business as a private chef, wine educator, and event host. While on the East Coast, he continued his wine education, earned multiple certifications, and is currently enrolled in the WSET Diploma program. While in Boston, Shaylan fell in love with the Finger Lakes while on numerous road trips. After years of visiting, he couldn’t resist the region any longer and relocated to join the Dr. Frank team.
