Sam is our OG. Since the beginning, she’s been involved in every team from the taproom to the production side. Sam is the ultimate taste tester thanks to her family roots in England, where she gets her love of cider. Crossing paths in public with an AVID cider drinker is her favorite full circle moment. Sam loves people and is active in the operations of the business with her local team and regional partners. When she’s not running the show, she loves hiking around Central Oregon and laying in the sun by the High Lakes. Sam’s favorite AVID drink is the Royal Apricot Imperial Cider.

Mike is our Sales Manager and resident golfing fanatic. He helps lead sales support efforts and helps collaborate with distributors on multiple fronts. Mike strives to be his best and is behind the creation of new processes that deliver results in cider sales. Best of all, he loves working for a homegrown company based in Oregon. Mike’s favorite AVID beverage is the Blackberry Cider. 

Tim is our Key Account Manager, and contributes to the success of Avid through strategic relationships with our distributors and key accounts. Tim works with chain buyers to maintain and grow Avid’s footprint across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

When Tim is not slinging cider to our accounts, you’ll find him on the golf course, playing weekend jam sessions on the drums or enjoying an Avid Jungle Juice hard cider.

Scott is on the operations side of things. For over a year, he has led and managed AVID’s team of production staff, providing guidance, training and performance feedback. He stays motivated by the fact that he gets to make alcohol for a living and enjoys collaborating with sales, marketing and finance teams at AVID.

Jenna, affectionately known by us as “Waz,” goes back eight years with AVID as our original taproom team member. Once a bartender, now Taproom Manager, Jenna creates a chill space for our local patrons to unwind, enjoy live music experiences, and shoot some pool.

Her favorite AVID beverage is the Royal Apricot Imperial Cider. 

Devin “Bonesaw” Boner is our chief product quality manger. His role is a crucial component of our production team to ensure that our cider remains the highest quality throughout the production process. Being able to innovate and create high quality products that are new to the market keeps his stoke at an all time high. When not monitoring our cider production, you’ll find Devin shreding the mountain or throwing discs at the local disc golf course.

Stefan joined the team a year ago as our lead cellar hand. He is the magic behind the fermentation journey our cider makes from apple juice to finished product. Stefan helps to package finished cider that ships out all over the nation. Quality control and maintaining high standards are his daily passions. Being a Central Oregon resident, Stefan also knows how to have fun snowboarding, camping, kayaking, and adventuring with his three dogs.
