Best known for | I’d probably say my passion for craft beer.
Favourite “at work” memory | First night of service at The Watch was one of the best feelings I remember having. We finally were making drinks as opposed to building the bar after many many months.
What do you collect? Not much. Do beer, breweries, and band tees count? I have a lot of those.
