The Authors
Dr. Dan Weberg, PhD, MHI, BSN, RN, FAAN is a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing and a recognized expert in innovation, leadership, and human-centered design. But while he spent his career focusing on healthcare systems, he has realized that the principles of "care models" apply just as well to the perfect cocktail: it requires precision, empathy, and immediate intervention.
With extensive clinical experience in high-pressure emergency departments and trauma centers, Dan knows a thing or two about triage. He brings that same cool-under-pressure demeanor to this book, teaching you how to handle the "critical condition" of an empty glass or a dinner party that needs stabilizing.
From Healthcare Strategy to Happy Hour
Dan has served as a top-tier executive for massive healthcare networks and staffing platforms, where he supported tens of thousands of professionals and modernized technology. Now, he’s pivoting that strategic expertise to help you modernize your home bar.
Workforce Development: He used to support the growth of 800+ new graduates and 70,000 leaders; now, he’s dedicated to developing your skills as a lead bartender.
Innovation: As the first-ever graduate of a PhD program in Innovation Leadership, Dan applies "evidence-based practice" to mixology, ensuring every recipe is backed by research and results.
Education: A faculty member who has taught at major universities, Dan swaps the lecture hall for the lounge to teach “Nurses Dose” behind your favorite spirits.
The Bottom Line Dan has authored multiple textbooks and peer-reviewed articles on leadership, but consider this book his prescription for a better evening. Whether advising on boards or consulting on strategy, Dan’s goal remains the same: improving outcomes—one pour at a time

Dr. David Weberg, PT, DPT, OCS, is a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and a veteran leader in healthcare operations. While he has spent his career ensuring that patients regain their range of motion and clinical systems run with peak efficiency, he has realized that the "mechanics of movement" apply just as well to the perfect pour: it’s all about balance, structural integrity, and the right sequence of events.
With a deep clinical background in diagnosing complex musculoskeletal issues, David knows that even the smallest misalignment can throw a whole system off. He brings that same diagnostic precision to this book, teaching you how to treat the "structural deficits" of a poorly made drink and ensure your guest's experience is perfectly aligned.
From Clinical Care to Craft Concoctions
As a Direct Care Provider for major medical centers, David has managed the complex logistics and high-volume demands of modern healthcare. Now, he’s pivoting those care strategies to help you optimize the workflow of your own home bar.
Clinical Excellence: He can treat your sore back and spine; now, he’s dedicated to loosening you up of your next gathering, ensuring no guest is ever left waiting.
Orthopedic Precision: As a Board-Certified Specialist (OCS), David understands that the foundation of any great result is the quality of the components. He applies "evidence-based biomechanics" to mixology, ensuring every shake and stir is executed with ergonomic perfection.
Mentorship & Leadership: Having spent years mentoring clinicians and leading diverse teams toward excellence, David swaps the clinic floor for the bar top to guide you from "novice" to "specialist" in the art of hosting.
The Bottom Line
David has dedicated his life to helping people move better and live more efficiently, but consider this book his prescription for "social rehabilitation." Whether he’s streamlining your spine or refining a classic recipe, David’s goal remains the same: restoring function and enhancing the spirit—one glass at a time.
