What Would Mike Morales Do?

Let’s see…

If he were independently wealthy, Mike Morales would spend all of his time exploring the world’s tequila bars and interviewing interesting people. He’d write thoughtful, thought provoking and cutting edge articles on Mexico, the tequila industry, and all that tequila culture entails.

Sadly, Mike isn’t independently wealthy and our site isn’t overrun with ads, so he has to work for a living while he writes for Tequila Aficionado on the side. Yes, folks, Tequila Aficionado is a labor of love but love don’t put food on the table. After being asked a few times, we thought we’d mention Mike’s day job.

After going over Mike’s calendar, we’ve realized that between family commitments, Sipping Off The Cuff filming, Last Tequila Standing post production, and prior bookings, he’s going to be very busy throughout the summer so if you’d like to request his services or a phone consultation and haven’t confirmed a date and time yet, you may want to do so now.
