Personal Background
Drank lots of beer as a child. Attended St. Francis College and majored in Anthropology and a minor in biology. I have also worked in the exciting world of producing pharmaceutical drugs . Then I started brewing and my life has never been the same since.

How I Got Started Crafting Beer
I began my brewing career at the Market Street Brewing in Nashville, Tennessee. Then went on to John Harvard's from 1996-2002 and then went to Golden Avalanche Brewing Company. And now I have hit Rock Bottom in Arlington, VA.

Likes a traditional style of brewing with a creative flair.
