Boyd Pearson
National Sales & Marketing Manager
Born in Charleston, SC and raised on low-country cooking, food has always held a special place for Boyd. After attending Clemson University, he moved to Atlanta, GA, where he worked in a restaurant, and while his love for food continued to grow, his passion for wine truly blossomed. Though he switched his restaurant gig to ad agency work, Boyd continued his wine education with sommelier seminars and classes on wine. While it was a Napa Cab that initially turned the key, it was an Oregon Pinot Noir that truly sealed his fate, and Boyd moved to Portland in May 2008.
While working in advertising, Boyd spent his weekends working in tasting rooms around the valley and helping out his favorite producers. Most of his free time was (and still is) spent studying wine, drinking wine or helping out wineries in some capacity. After eight years in advertising and a year and half working tasting rooms, Boyd has found a home at one of his favorite wineries in the valley, Anne Amie.
When not eating out or doing something wine related, Boyd can be found reading books, listening to music, geeking out on the web, watching movies, attending concerts, or obsessing over anything Clemson sports related, generally pairing a glass of wine with each activity.
