I'm an Australian expat living in South Carolina working for a wine school. My beer journey has taken me from Townsville, Australia (where I managed a Homebrewers Warehouse) to Sacramento, California (where I worked in retail for Nugget Markets) to Berlin, Germany where I worked for Oculyze (the famed developer of automated yeast counting microscopes). Now I'm back in the USA, developing content for Napa Valley Wine Academy. Other notable credentials and general geekery include the WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines, possessing a Graduate Certificate in Brewing from Federation University (Australia), being a National BJCP judge and I have run an 8:51 beer mile (using Left Hand Milk Stout).
