Hobbies and Interests

My passion for craft beer goes back many years in my hometown of Ottawa. The rise in craft breweries in my city was exploding and I couldn’t wait to try the next new style of beer. After trying so many different beers and exploring many cities abroad at breweries or festivals, it was then I knew I wanted to learn how to make my own. I started off homebrewing for a couple years before eventually deciding that this was something I wanted to do as a career. I joined a couple breweries in Ottawa and learned a lot, before eventually moving to Vancouver and learning much much more. Im always excited to learn new and creative ways to brew the perfect beer.

My next major passion lies with the outdoors. I am an extremely adventurous person, and I love to explore. Living in Vancouver BC is something very special with all there is to offer. I am always planning the next best outdoor adventure, either if its hiking, cycling, paddleboarding, backcountry skiing, and pretty much all of the above!
