I love food and enjoy cooking & baking. I also like to brew (and drink) beer (especially hoppy American IPAs or India pale ales, stouts, and Bavarian-style wheat beers) and occasionally make mead. I find yeast to be amazing.
I sometimes post my beer tasting notes in a blog (see link below).
I'm also a huge Green Bay Packers fan - Go Pack go!
