I'm a proud Rhode Islander that spent the last three years living in Cincinnati, Ohio, doing marketing and operations at a craft brewery called Rhinegeist. We were the fastest growing brewery in U.S. history and it was not an easy place to leave by any means! After Cincinnati I moved to Guatemala where I was just living for half a year working in social entrepreneurship and trying to become fluent in Spanish.

I'm currently traveling the world to explore it as well as myself. I love speaking Spanish, talking literature and embracing the omnipresent buenas vibras.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music covers a wide gamut but the three main buckets would probably be folk/americana, classic rock and electronic.

As for movies, my favorites are 'It's a Wonderful Life' and 'Good Will Hunting'.

To round it off, while I don't have a favorite book 'On the Road' and 'A Catcher in the Rye' both really hit the spot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned how to drive stick-shift (mecánico) on beach roads in Guatemala.

Teach, Learn, Share

The basics of brewing, the cultural hubs of a city, fun stories from the past and hopes for the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share insights on the craft beer world and hold my own in most literary conversations. Also smiles and laughs, those will be plentiful.
