I live in St Louis, MO with my wife Lisa and am the 8th of nine brothers growing up in South Bend, Indiana. We have been blessed with three children who are all now grown creating their own unique and amazing lives. After getting my BS degree in Chemical Engineering at Purdue University, I received an MBA from Washington University in St Louis where I currently work in Supply Chain. My love of beer led me to help co-found Bluewood Brewing in St Louis, home of some of the best quality beers in the world. Among many interests I enjoy hiking, camping, golfing, travelling, watching college football and basketball, and spending time with family and friends. Most important of all I want to do what I can to make the world a better place for current and future generations.
