JEFF BRICKER, PRESIDENT, FOUNDER AND CO-OWNER

Jeff served in the Iowa Army National Guard from 1982 to 1988, afterwards beginning his career as a Graphic Designer in 1988, establishing Bricker Publishing with over 35 years of Graphic Design, Marketing, Advertising and Publishing experience.

Jeff grew up on a farm near Boone, Iowa where he obtained a vast knowledge of agriculture. His love for the land, along with his deep appreciation for the craft beverage, wine industry and publishing arena, made it a very natural progression to form his own publishing company and introduce The Grapevine Magazine in 2007.  A few short years later in 2014 he launched Beverage Master:  Craft Spirits and Brew Magazine.
