After gaining experience at Saucony Creek, Kane Brewing, and Tired Hands, he became a sought-after brewery consultant. His work with New Trail’s original founders led to him joining as a Co-Owner. New Trail was ranked America’s fastest-growing brewery in 2021 by the Brewers Association and is now among the top 70 largest production breweries in the U.S.
