How and when did you first become interested in beer?

I came from a family and a group of friends that are originally from Milwaukee. Beer was a big part of our culture growing up in Tucson.

What do you think you bring to the brewing game that makes you stand out?

I developed a relationship with the AZ craft beer drinkers at an early stage in my career and have a good understanding of where they’re coming from. I’m a Wildcat!
