Almost a “real” local, Sally grew up in nearby Marin County. She graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in Recreation Administration.
Starting her career at Pacific Marin Yacht Charters, she put her skills to work promoting and planning events on chartered yachts in the San Francisco Bay. She will tell you that it was a lot of fun - especially when Hall-of-Fame 49er quarterback Joe Montana called to book his wife’s birthday party!
Next, Sally jumped on an opportunity to join Marin-based software company, Autodesk Inc., where she developed her talents in business-to-business event management.
Sally and husband David met serendipitously in Anderson Valley where they both were enjoying the splendor of the Navarro River. Three years later, they were married and moved to the Napa Valley.
Intrigued by the wine industry, Sally joined the Niebaum-Coppola Winery team as an Event Manager back in 1999. For the past ten years Sally successfully led the events department of Niebaum-Coppola, and then the affiliated, Rubicon Estate, before joining Long Meadow Ranch team as the Manager of Event Marketing. She is a key member of our overall marketing team and has responsibility for consumer-related sales, hospitality, and promotional event activities.
When not working, Sally is taking care of her wonderful daughter Ruby, husband Dave, and dog Daisy.
