Summary

To Whom It May Concern I am an experienced brewer, distiller and farmer that's know all the different malting grains indepth.

In the past, I have proven to be able to work under pressure, juggle numerous deadlines to a number of departments and deliver the required outcomes. I work well as part of a team and just as efficiently as an individual when required.

Over the years I have travelled & worked all around the world, Up until recently I owned and operated Pioneer Brewing. Unfortunately due to my divorce I had to shut the business down.

This has left my son and myself having to start of our new life's from scratch again. As my resume will show I am proficient brewer familiar with all aspects of the brewing process, including grain handling, production and delivery. Well-versed in manufacturing procedures and standard policies. Prepared to bring years of related experience to a challenging position with room for advancement.
