How did you get into the beer industry? Why does beer matter to you?

I got into beer via the BJCP. I love using my palate and training to help brewers make better beer.

Why do you judge at the World Beer Cup? What does judging at the World Beer Cup mean to you?

Judging at the World Beer Cup is the highest honor for a beer judge. It means that I get to serve the best breweries of the world, ensuring their beers are judged well.
