ARGONAUT - Key Persons
Brian started working for Argonaut as a cashier in 1987. It is still a running joke that Mr. Fetter required him to cut his hair as a condition of employment. A degree in Finance & Marketing from the University of Denver probably factored into his promotion from the front of the store to running the office, but the main reason is that he loves working at Argonaut? Ask him and he'll laugh and tell you, "Yeah, I actually like my job."
Job Titles:
- Director of Events / Office Manager
Dan first started working as a beer stocker at Argonaut in 2007. He saw the potential for the expansion of the beer department at Argonaut due to the ever changing and rapidly growing beer market at the time. So he proactively helped develop and expand the beer department into what it is today. Dan loves beer and all the exciting innovations the creative industry has to offer and works hard to reflect that in the store to our customers so they can enjoy what it has to offer as well.
David joined the Argonaut family in 2004 as a stocker in the liquor department, but quickly worked his way into management. He decided to go back to college in 2008 to obtain a degree in business management from Texas State University.

Hank Robinson: In 1965, Hank's passion for fine wine and spirits led him to open a little neighborhood liquor store that he named Argonaut. All that's left of the original building is a single brick that Hank uses as a doorstop, but Hank's love of wine and commitment to customer service are still the foundation of our family liquor store. Hank passed away in 2018, at the age of 96.
After earning a bachelor's degree in business management and global business from the University of Arizona, Josh joined Argonaut full time in 2016. Since then, he has enjoyed learning everything there is to know about the liquor business. His favorite part of his job is getting the opportunity to bring unique and interesting products to his customers.
