Meet Chelsea

With an unwavering commitment to entrepreneurship, Chelsea has spent over 10 years strategically gathering diverse wine industry experience focused on growing revenue and the strength of customer relationships. From marketing coordinator and operations manager for Favia Wines to general manager for Senses Wines, Chelsea grew her career in Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast focused on the dream to one day provide entrepreneurs resources to build their business.

Born in the Inland Northwest and raised by self-employed parents, Chelsea learned at a young age what it meant to roll up her sleeves and work hard. Those lessons came in the form of mucking stalls at the stables where she rode, at her family's island property where they'd work cleaning up the beaches, and at her mother's quilt shop where she'd organize color walls and design marketing displays.

It was during her time in Boise, Idaho, that Chelsea discovered the Snake River Valley wine-growing region. Bored by the status-quo prospects of the post-college world, she worked a harvest at Cinder Winery to try something 'cool and different.'

Little did she know how wine would change her life…

Fast forward five years, Chelsea found herself living in Napa amidst a natural disaster, unlike anything she had experienced in her lifetime. The 2017 wildfires had, within days, displaced tens of thousands of people and burned tens of thousands of acres. Along with colleagues in the wine industry, Chelsea jumped into action Co-founding Rebuild Wine County which later raised over $1 million to rebuild homes in the affected counties.

In 2018, Wine Enthusiast Magazine recognized Chelsea as one of the Top 40 Under 40 Tastemakers, and soon after she decided to pursue her lifelong dream of consulting for entrepreneurs - a career she believes to be essential to preserving the health and diversity of our local wine communities across the states.

And that is how SeaBoss Marketing was born.
