Summary
Experienced bartender with 20 years in the craft beer industry. Assistant brewer for 3 and a half years. Pyramid Alehouse was across the street from both stadiums in downtown Seattle, so I'm very comfortable in high volume environments. Efficiency and ability to deal with a lot of people was paramount. Fremont Brewing is also fairly high volume and was a great change in the beer culture part of the job. Working for Holy Mountain has been a continuation of my learning experience. Being apart of a very small team there has helped develop new skills and knowledge in this industry. I've learned a lot from each brewery I've worked at. My work ethic is a huge part of who I am, both in the craft beer industry and in my music career. I'm very easy to get along with, I work well with others and I'm a good listener. I always come to work prepared and organized. I'm very friendly, outgoing and great at connecting with people, which helps with providing great customer service.
