For a brewery leader looking to create a step-change impact on their results, Brighter Brew will dive into the data, analyze for opportunity, and partner with you to develop a custom strategic plan as potent as your headiest brew. We’ll work together to define what success looks like for you: Distribution growth? Reduced cost of goods? Debt Payback? More cash to invest behind your brand? Whatever it is, we’ll chart a clear path to get you there. Once we build your planned set of initiatives, Brighter Brew can also help you manage your project portfolio on an ongoing basis.

Implementing Lean/Six Sigma tools into your Supply Chain processes does the same thing for your business’s performance as barrel aging does for big Imperial Stouts: makes sure it keeps getting better over time. By creating a culture of continuous improvement and making progress part of your DNA, you can ensure that your whole team will always be finding ways to make processes--and results--better, year after year. Either as a part of building your High-Gravity Strategy, or as a standalone service, Brighter Brew’s ASQ-trained Six Sigma Green Belt will help you to embed these tools into your business, and can provide ongoing change management support.
Just getting started? Working on securing investment? Just think your business plan needs a little more “conditioning?” Let’s ensure the numbers align with your vision and set you on the path to success. Before you hit the ground running, we’ll take a 360 approach to your business plan and analyze every line of your financial forecast to ensure it lays a foundation for short-term security and long-term achievement.
Teaming up for the long-haul is a big decision. Having great beer and like-minded, creative brewers are both hugely important, but we all want to make sure we are getting the best possible deal too, which is why an outside evaluation is crucial. We will review current performance, pinpoint synergies, and determine whether terms are favorable.
Whether you are buying or selling, partnering with Brighter Brew on this critical step will provide the peace of mind you are looking for during the merger or acquisition process.

I'm passionate about two things: great beer and bridging the gap between the numbers and your business's success. With almost a decade of experience at the world’s largest brewer, I implement proven strategies for businesses desiring consistent and sustainable improvement.
More importantly, I am a brewer first. I love the craft, the product, and the business. I understand the pride that brewers take in their beer, and I know how special it feels to see my beer in someone's hand, to have the opportunity to share with them the crafted ingredients, meticulous process, and hard work that goes into every bottle, and most importantly, to share my beer with someone and walk away with a new friend.
At Brighter Brew, I believe that a crafted business strategy goes hand-in-hand with the best damn beer you have to offer. Working in an industry surrounded by professionals who are passionate about great beer is a privilege, and it’s one I’ll never take for granted.
When I'm not working, I’m traveling the world. I’ve visited 40 countries, and counting!
You can typically find me outdoors, hiking, skiing, running, kayaking… or having a beer, my favorite outdoor sport!
The only thing I love as much as exploring the beers on offer is doing it with food. Whether it’s a crafted burger late on Friday night or unique culinary experience on the other side of the world, beer and food make each other better!
