When not working like a madman to get a portfolio back online, I attempt to entertain my lovely wife Dawn and hyper puppy Yoshi with visits to the dog park, Minnesota State Parks and a variety of hiking trails.

I've been a homebrewer for nearly two years. It's a great hobby and I'm slowly becoming an accomplished brewer. Oddly enough, my friends seem to come over a lot more often now that they know they can get free beer. Go figure.

I run MNBeer.com, a website dedicated to all of the great craft beer in Minnesota. The site focuses on Minnesota brewpubs, breweries, homebrew and anything else beer related in Minnesota. The site recently won a Best of the Twin Cities award from City Pages.

I love rock'n'roll, particularly of the indie/punk/etc. genre. I have fairly diverse tastes, though you probably won't find any Britney Spears, Korn or Creed in my collection.
