Jennifer Clark is the general manager of Mountain Cellars Fine Wine and Spirits. She was raised in a family-owned-and-operated greenhouse business. From the time she could walk, she was learning to run a company and work hard. She worked in real estate until 2007 when she moved to Colorado, and has been working in the liquor industry ever since. She found a passion for working with small business owners and improving their businesses. She breaks down their business to find where they are over-spending or under-spending, and trains their staff to provide top-notch customer service. In addition to staff needs, she also teaches owners to give back to the community. She believes strongly in supporting the local movement – that’s not just getting customers to support your local business but as a local business supporting your local community.
