Hi, I'm David Wilson.

My Story

I'm 22 years old and I've lived in Forked River my whole life. The Jersey Shore isn't just where I work — it's home. I know these towns, these venues, and these people. That local knowledge makes a real difference when I'm setting up a bar at a backyard in Toms River or a wedding venue on LBI.

I've been working in the service industry for 5 years. Right now, I bartend banquets and à la carte at the historic Smithville Inn — one of the most well-known event venues in South Jersey. That experience taught me how to work fast, stay calm under pressure, and make every guest feel taken care of.

Over the past 5 years, I've personally bartended over 150 events: birthdays, retirements, anniversaries, reunions, fundraisers, work parties, BBQs, cookouts, pool parties, and weddings. I've worked in event halls, backyards, private homes, wedding venues, and conference centers — from Long Beach Island up to Asbury Park and beyond.

I started Tipsy Tuna in October 2026 because I love bartending and I love creating a great experience for everyone in the room. I wanted to bring my brand and my expertise anywhere it's wanted. What makes me different is that I'm extremely accommodating — I get things done that other mobile bars won't or can't.
