The WhiteStar Team

Michael Oxner

Michael Oxner, CEO & Founder of the Winemakeri Group of companies in 1992. Started the company as a two person homebrew shop selling wholesale out the back door. Learned how to brew at the tender age of 10, helping his grandfather pick dandelions to make country wine! Now spends most of his time in the R&D yeast lab, tending to his 3 acre experimental vineyard and practising his air guitar. If it has alcohol in it, he has probably brewed it.

Kyle MacIsaac

Kyle MacIsaac, Accounting Manager. Although Kyle is relatively new to the company, he is no stranger to malt, buffers and acids. A graduate of the Cape Breton University with a Bachelor of Business Administration, he brings a wealth of experience from the world of banking to the grain milling business. Kyle likes to keep active, and will make the right pitch or jump through hoops to get the job done - on time and on budget!

Karlee Camenzuli

Karlee Camenzuli, Administration and Customer Support. New to the company, Karlee is looking forward to making sure your order ships accurately and on time. She will be your new first point of contact when you enter the WhiteStar universe. Having grown up in Ontario, Karlee embarked on an education at St. Francis Xavier University. Karlee fell in love with the Maritimes and decided to stay. An avid outdoors person, Karlee hopes to travel the world, one craft drink at a time.

Dara Milos

Dara Milos, Quality Control and Production Manager. Dara is a food chemist with a passion for excellence. For her, quality is not a destination, it is a journey in itself. So she joined our team on a journey of product development and quality improvement. When she is not in the brewing lab or playing shepherd to the production team, she can be found hiking trails with her family or painting future masterpieces using acrylic paints. Maybe craft brewing label designs are in her future!
