Doc Selmer's Smashing Story
Every great story deserves a strong pour, and this one is no exception. Inspired by Zach's recent trip through Kentucky's horse country, this blackberry bourbon smash mixes smooth bourbon, fresh lemon, juicy blackberry, and a kick of ginger beer for a drink that's as bold and memorable as the bartenders behind it. From songwriting and medicine to marketing and storytelling, Zach and Trevor know how to craft a story worth sharing, and this one just happens to be served over ice.
Dr. Zach Dubois embraces the importance of living a purposeful life. Before medical school, he went to Nashville as a touring singer-songwriter, sharing music filled with human connection and creativity. But he never left behind that experience of shadowing the late Dr. Robert Abel at the clinic in Wakarusa. Zach earned his medical degree from Marian University, and his home base as a board-certified physician is at Beacon Medical Group Goshen Center for Family Practice.
All Trevor Wendzonka ever wanted to be was a writer, and those storytelling skills have come in handy at every stop. From his part-time start in the sports department at The Elkhart Truth to his position today as Chief Marketing Officer at Elkhart Public Library, Trevor has used his words to put light on the true stories of people and personalities in our community. In addition to his day job, he's a board member for Elkhart Festivals Inc. and works on the marketing for Elkhart Jazz Fest.
