Meet The Legacy Barrel Services Team: Lou Garcia, Chief Financial Officer
Lou has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Cincinnati and an MBA in Finance & Marketing from Indiana University. He spent 25 years in corporate finance with Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo, and Avery Dennison.
In 1998, his first career venture outside the big corporate world was as Chief Financial Officer for the largest distributor of charitable gaming and bingo products, equipment, and services in the U.S.
Lou developed an interest in the wine industry in the late 1990s with the purchase of Stover Oaks Winery, located in the Sierra Foothills of California.
One year later, Lou became General Manager and CFO of Frank Johnson Vineyards and Roshambo Winery in Sonoma County and held this position for four years while owning Stover Oaks. In 2009, he became Controller & CFO for Hall Wines in Napa County and worked there through the end of 2015 when he semi-retired, continuing to maintain the Stover Oaks brand.
From 2019 through 2021 his focus shifted to financial & business consulting as an Area CFO for Sharp CFO and Vend Advisors providing fractional and interim advisory services for small-to-medium sized for-profit and non-profit organizations.
Lou is also involved with many non-profit organizations participating in multiple community, college, and corporate fundraising drives including the United Way Board of Review (Ohio) and the Napa Valley College Foundation Board (California).

Ken Seymour and Legacy Barrel Services assist wine and spirit industry with barrel financing and logistics
After a decade with H & A Financing and Services, first as Managing Director and later as Vice President of Spirits for the U.S Division, Ken Seymour is now President of Legacy Barrel Services, LLC, located in downtown Napa, California.
Ken spent 23 years working exclusively in the cooperage industry, where he started his career as a representative for Canton Wood Products and Tonnellerie Boutes. His years of experience and dedication to the industry have led Ken to several promotions over the years as the North American Sales Manager and General Manager for various companies throughout his cooperage career, including as Sales Manager for Barrel Builders, Inc. in Calistoga, CA.
The vast network he has built during his long tenure in the barrel industry has made Ken uniquely qualified for this current venture. Legacy Barrel Services offers financial leasing solutions for the wine and spirit industry to optimize cash flow for the recurring purchase of their high-cost barrels.
LBS works with its lending partners to offer services to benefit the client's ability to free up cash, preserve working capital, and allow for an alternative lending solution that provides low-cost financing for their new barrel purchases and, at the same time, gives the winery and distillery access to a barrel removal service that on the back end reduces labor costs—allowing the winemaker and distiller to produce an excellent product rather than managing the removal logistics and sale of barrels no longer needed.
With Ken at the company's helm, Legacy Barrel Services offers the wine and spirits industries the breadth of his knowledge, experience, integrity, and client support expertise, along with an earnest and eager willingness to go the extra mile for all of their clients. www.legacybarrelservices.com
