ABOUT JESSE RODRIGUEZ
With over 20 years in luxury hospitality and nearly 15 years in collegiate instruction, I currently serve as Program Lead at Montana State University-Bozeman, where I specialize in hospitality and sustainable tourism education. My work focuses on developing industry-aligned curricula, fostering student engagement, and creating externship opportunities that connect students with leading hospitality organizations. Recent collaborations with Gallatin College and Jake Jabs Business School have enhanced the program\'s scope and relevance. Drawing on a rich background in wine education and event planning, I also curate bespoke wine experiences as Global Ambassador for Magellan Jets and Resident Sommelier at PacBio. This includes developing tailored in-flight wine programs, organizing VIP vineyard tours, and elevating corporate events. My credentials include multiple certifications from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, the Society of Wine Educators, and the Wine Scholar Guild, reflecting a deep commitment to excellence in both hospitality and beverage management.
