Um… I’m a web admin for a state agency. I spend my days knee deep in content management systems and answering questions about social media. I didn’t drink beer until college, and didn’t drink good beer until about five years ago. I’ve been an on and off homebrewer since 2006, my favorite recipe is a dry hopped rye, my default beer is an IPA or rye ale. My beer Degobah was Washington state and my beer Yoda was my corporate AMEX. Besides beer, I like my wife, chess, Apple stuff, music, disc golf, and the Internet.
