ABOUT

Cultivate. Create. Captivate. Our approach to business development and growth follows this motto. We believe that proper preparation of the environment is crucial for the success of any product or service.

Over the years, we've worn many hats.

As business owners and entrepreneurs, winemakers, a nonprofit executive director, and even a ski racing coach, we've had the privilege of experiencing different industries and ventures. From family businesses to nonprofit organizations, we've seen firsthand how challenging it can be to start and keep a company running. But we didn't let that stop us from pursuing our passion to help businesses succeed. Our commitment to empowering owners and entrepreneurs led us to create Tin Sheets.

We pour all our skills and knowledge into designing plans and processes that make things easier for you. We believe in the power of our strategies because we've seen them work wonders for our own business. Now, we're excited to share our expertise with others and help them achieve the same level of success.

Saxby is a highly skilled and talented dog who has two important roles to play. He is not only the Chief Barketing Officer but also an official K9 member of El Paso County (Colorado) Search and Rescue. While he loves searching more than anything else, he is always happy to help out in the office too.

 

Saxby was named after a henchman in the James Bond movie, Diamonds are Forever. Known for his exceptional energy and enthusiasm, he always gives his best shot at everything he does. From requiring us to walk at least four miles per day to warming our feet under the desk to enforcing regular play breaks, Saxby is a great morale booster and makes sure everyone stays fit and active.

Why Tin Sheets?

In 2016, we made a decision to sell our winery located in Western Colorado so that we could travel across America in an Airstream. Our goal was to explore new sights and taste different wines from various regions. Over the course of three months, we traveled more than 12,000 miles and documented our journey on our travel blog, Tin Sheets to the Wind.

The name of our blog, as well as our consulting company, was inspired by three sources. It combines the "tin" (which is often slang for aluminum) from which our Airstream, named Stan, was made, the expression "three sheets to the wind," which pays tribute to our past career as winemakers, and the "wind" itself, which was essential to our winery and the inspiration for the names of our wines, Canyon Wind Cellars and Anemoi Wines.

Even though we no longer have the Airstream, we continue to explore the country by car, traveling the two-lane roads and discovering the quirky and kitschy with our furry co-pilot, Saxby.
