Daniel Yaffe, Editor & Publisher

Daniel Yaffe is a UC Berkeley graduate who has had a passion for good booze since his very first drink. In fact, he mixed up the idea for Drink Me after a long night of bartending and hasn’t looked back. When he’s not conceptualizing article ideas for the magazine or working as a partner at Open Content Media, Daniel can most likely be spotted sipping cocktails at industry events or playing racquetball with friends. The two, he’s learned, don’t mix well together.

Stephanie Henry, Online Editor

An editor by trade (and grammarian by near-OCD), Stephanie has worked at both international publishing houses and low-budget start-ups — one of which being her foray into the editorial and business sides of publishing at Phoenix Metropolitan, a magazine she helped launch in 2007. When not nose-to-monitor finishing a Master’s degree in web design + development, she can be found with some sort of whiskey concoction—preferably a well-made rattlesnake—at a slew of SF bars.

Samir Osman, Contributor

Samir Osman is a bartender, mixologist, consultant, teacher, writer, and photographer who came to San Francisco for vacation in the late ’90s and never looked back. He prefers a classic approach to both creating and consuming drinks, as well as writing about both.

Patrick Poelvoorde, Hedonist Barkeep

Originally hailing from various hitching posts throughout the Midwest, at 20 Patrick bounded westward and wound up in Phoenix where he cut his teeth pouring potables to sober college students, writing for various publications and painting his little heart out. He now finds himself in San Francisco, where his brain is slowly congealing back to normal(ish) state.  Perhaps you will see him stroking down the street on his bike or inventing new drink recipes to dull the pain.

Sheridan Costa, Contributor

Sheridan is a sassy, redheaded Baltimore transplant who learned about the world of alcohol at an early age (her dad was a liquor distributor). Her passions now lie with photography and at least two of the following at all times: whiskey, great cocktails, dancing to the music, blowing the bank on photobooths and perfecting playlists for the city’s best jukeboxes.
