About the Speaker

Dr. David Martin
 Associate Professor and Level 1 Sommelier

A native of Birmingham, AL, David Martin is currently an Associate Professor with the Hospitality Management Program at Auburn University. He holds a Ph.D. from Auburn and is a Level 1 Sommelier. He is also a founding member of the Brewing Sciences and Operations program at Auburn University and is the coordinator for the Hotel and Restaurant Management track. Before starting his graduate studies, David worked in prestigious hotels such as the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, FL, The Eldorado Hotel in Santa Fe, NM, and the Wynfrey Hotel in Birmingham, AL, to name a few.   

David hates wine snobbery, and while he appreciates and encourages people to try new wines and challenge their palate, his tried-and-true rule of thumb is that if it tastes good, drink it!
