“We have had the pleasure of working with Eddie Fam for more than six (6) years, during which time he worked as our Sales and Marketing Director. Under Eddie’s tenure, the Winery had hosted more than 1,000 events including weddings, corporate events and social engagements. Eddie consistently improved event sales revenue year after year, all while spearheading the Winery’s marketing efforts. Eddie’s networking acumen served the Winery well, introducing clients to the beauty, history and fine service the Winery has to offer. Eddie is an extremely dedicated and passionate professional that would serve any client in the same manner. He stays current with the industry’s constant changes and innovations, and knows the right steps to take in order to complete his mission. Eddie has been a great addition to The Winery at Bull Run for the past six years and we look forward to hearing about his future successes.” ~ Owner, Jon Hickox
