My purpose for creating this blog is to use it as a platform from which I can write about and engage with topics surrounding public relations in the craft brewing industry.  For many years I have been a hip-hop lyricist, a performer and a salesman with management experience. Over the past few years, however, my rich enthusiasm for craft beer has set me on a new path.

Currently, I am pursuing a BA in Public Relations at the University of Oregon. I work as a server at BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, where I have begun to play a significant role in beer tasting and special dinner events. I have also recently accepted a writing position at Spoon University; a nationwide student publication focused on food and beverage news, healthy living and restaurant reviews.

This blog is going to be a creative space where I can hone my writing skills, advance my industry knowledge and build relationships with other professionals in the field. Eventually, I would like to expand this into an e-portfolio and use it as my professional website.
