Food Science and Technology has been the focus of my career, blending my love for local craft product with my foundation in quality assurance and supply chain logistics. I'm passionate about developing high quality, specialty products and have gained people and lab management skills, as well as quality control and quality assurance skills throughout my time at Alibi Ale Works and Beauregard Vineyards. My long-term goal is to become a leading expert in the food and beverage industry with a focus on sustainability and innovative techniques. On a more personal note, I'm an outdoors kind of guy who balances his free time between cooking homegrown food for friends and family, and surfing beautiful waves in Santa Cruz.
