After graduating from the College of Charleston in May 2004, he took over as General Manager of Poogan’s. Ball traveled extensively throughout the world, including spending a semester abroad in Annot, France, where he developed a keen interest in wine. After extensive study, Ball personally took it upon himself to expand and diversify the wine program at Poogan’s, growing the list to 250 bottles, 28 wines by the glass and adding a sophisticated 1500 bottle wine cellar.
