With a passion for playing live music with my band (playing out since 1999) I've had the opportunity to play in many of New England’s music venues. As a byproduct, I've had the opportunity to enjoy beer in many different venues and atmospheres. In 2009 I completed the Professional Beer Styles and Tasting Course at the Seibel Institute in Chicago, IL.
