Summary

I’m a driven results-motivated individual with more than 10 years in the
production/supply chain field. In 2015, I transitioned into the craft beer
industry. I’ve been able to transparently apply my background in program
management to my roles in craft beer.

As a manager, my organization and a clear perspective on logistics has
differentiated me from my peer group. My naturally engaging personality
has allowed me to build ongoing business and personal relationships
throughout the industry. Clear expectations and empathy make me a
great supervisor and leader.

I’m seeking roles that will deepen my knowledge of beer and will allow me
to contribute to the success of a brewery, distributor, importer, or retail
business I believe in.
