About Charlie:
Charlie Garrison, Director, Strategic Sales & National Accounts a.k.a. Whiskey Peddler

Charlie Garrison knew he would be a part of the family business since it was nothing more than a crazy idea in his brother’s head. Initially, Charlie worked double-duty, peddling their bourbon between his day jobs. In 2013 he jumped in full time to help expand Garrison Brothers across the nation.

Charlie spent the first 20 years of his career in the wireless communications industry. As his career grew, his love for entrepreneurialism developed and he found himself working for smaller companies in bigger roles. Before joining Garrison Brothers full-time, Charlie was running the sales and marketing for a wireless carrier with networks across the country. He also owned and operated a restaurant with his family for over a decade in Cave Creek, Arizona. Over the last five years, Charlie has led the charge in building relationships with national accounts and actively plays a strategic role in the company’s business development. He also travels the country, hosting events and sharing the stories that led to the creation of the world’s best bourbon brand.

Charlie has been married to his wife Julie for over 30 years. They have two adult children, a couple of horses, and some dogs.

He enjoys his Garrison Brothers any way people choose to serve it.

“Growing up, our father always told my brother and me that we had better learn to work for ourselves because no one else would ever put up with us. Thank God he was right.” – Charlie Garrison
