About

Hey!  Welcome to my RateBeer HopPress beer blog.  I have been a RateBeerian since early 2004 and I honestly never met a beer that I didn’t like… I just liked some of them much more than others!  I consider myself a true ” hop head” and while hoppy beers (IPA, IIPA, etc.) really appeal to me, I don’t discriminate much and I enjoy most types of beer; from a sour lambic to a malty marzen. While this is my first time to write for some else’s beer blog, I have maintained my own beer blog (www.vthophead.com) for a while.

In addition to my pursuit of many things beer, I have been fortunate to do many fun and meaningful things in my life… Degrees in Biology and Secondary Education (Univ. of VT), Peace Corps (Sierra Leone), classroom teacher (7th & 8th graders), technology business owner (11 years), Vermont Foodbank (Dir. Operations) and my current stint as the VP of Information Systems of a large credit union in Vermont.  Including beer, my hobbies are travel with my wife Candy, amateur photography, fishing (when I have time) and reading SciFi.

I hope that you enjoy what you read here and come back often to share in my beer adventures!
