Management Team / Advisory Board Bios
Colin Davis
Co-founder, President
Colin is a born tinkerer whose interest has ranged from cars, to architecture, to recycling, before finally landing on cider making. He also co-manages a herd of highland cattle with his dad.
David Dolginow
Co-Founder, Vice President
David grew up in Kansas City in a family of retailers and entrepreneurs and the apple doesn't fall far... After spending three years at Sunrise Orchards in Vermont, David started Shacksbury with Colin in spring 2013, after an exciting but nerve-racking conversation at dollar Miller draft night at Big Moose Pub to outline their partnership.
Elizabeth Tilton
Board Member
Born and raised in New Orleans, Elizabeth found herself around a friend's kitchen table in New York City drinking Shacksbury and it was love at first sip. You can currently find her between New York City and New Orleans where she runs her company, Oyster Sunday. Although culinary is her passion, she regrets not going to space camp but believes there is still time.
Luke Schmuecker
Partner, Director of Marketing
Luke's connection to apples runs deep. He grew up in a neighborhood in Connecticut where the streets were named after apples and his first job was at a family friend's apple orchard. Fast forward to 2020, Luke is based in San Diego and spends his time obsessing over photos, branding, consumer behavior and the beverage industry in general.
Alex Consalvo
Partner, Director of Sales
Alex grew up in Vermont next to an orchard where he learned the magic of apples, cider and of course apple cider donuts! He lives in Austin, Texas now where he helps Shacksbury sell its products from coast to coast. Alex loves a good business trip and a great shot of espresso.
Aurelia Biebuyck
Operations Manager
Aurelia joined the crew after working in various strategy and finance roles. She now helps Shacksbury with production and all things numbers. As a native Vermonter, Aurelia loves most type 2 fun activities, such as slogging through Vermonts gravel roads on her bike.
Nicholas Janson
Head Cider Maker
Nicholas enjoys the technically nuanced nature of fermenting, fining and blending the ciders here at Shacksbury. He is fairly illusive, he spends lots of time deep in the forest or high up on a mountain. The best chance of a sighting would be to hide out and wait quietly at the break of dawn in the cellar at Shacksbury because thats when he is most active...
Jake Maxwell
Director of Logistics
Jake is often seen behind pallets of cans, stacks of kegs, or any other objects taller than 5'2" in our warehouse. While he may be hard to find at times, he's the one that keeps things moving in and out of Shacksbury. If you're enjoying a nice cold beverage from us, then raise a glass in appreciation of his efforts. Just not too high where he can't reach it.
