David Glancy is a Master Sommelier and Certified Wine Educator, one of only twelve people in the world to hold both credentials. Also a certified French Wine Scholar, Italian Wine Professional, and Certified Specialist of Spirits, Glancy has earned the credential for every program he teaches, and more. In 2006, while working for Professional Culinary Institute (now ICE), he created the only Certified Sommelier Program ever approved by the  Court of Master Sommeliers. In 5 years, he helped more than 400 students to pass the Court of Master Sommelier's rigorous mid-level exam. This was 10% of the world's supply of Certified Sommeliers at that time.
