OBJECTIVE

I'm a writer... that's what I do. Lord Byron, the 19th century poet said it best: "If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad." Since 2002, I've been writing about video games (primarily PC gaming). In that time I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge regarding the industry itself, and cultivated professional contacts and connections into personal friendships. I've been writing about the craft beer industry -- this liquid culture of ours -- for a little over a year now. In that short amount of time I have done far more than I thought possible. I've met an incredible array of individuals who share a common bond of beer... and it's only reinforced my belief that this elixir of the gods has quite literally changed the entire course of human history. So what could these seemingly disparate topics possibly have in common? A lot actually. But for me... it's all about the passion. "Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion." -- Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
