An Intro to Me

First of all, a little background about me.  I grew up in Livonia, Michigan, which is right outside of Detroit.  When I went to college, I chose to head to Western Michigan University.  After 5 years in Kalamazoo, I didn't want to live with the winter of ice and snow anymore, so I moved to Arizona.  I currently live in Chandler.  

Although, I have been going to Four Peaks Brewing in Tempe, Arizona, for several years, it wasn't until a few years ago that I truly opened up to the Craft Beer market.  I cannot stress how much this has changed my life for the better.  It is not just about the beer, it is about the great people I have met.  From fellow drinkers to home brewers to brewery reps to distributors and beyond, these are some of the nicest and most interesting people you will find.  I have learned a lot about Beer as well, but I do not consider myself an expert by a long shot.  However, I do like entertainment and I hope to provide some in this blog.  

I plan to talk about more than just beer in this blog, but a recent trip has inspired me to write.  I wouldn't normally add another writing task to my routine, because I write every day for my job as a credit underwriter. However, when you review financial statements all day, and then analyze spreads to make a case to lend a company money, this seems very easy in comparison.

Look for my first regular blog post in a few days from my journey to West Michigan to visit some breweries.
