A native of Atlanta, Kevin has always enjoyed what makes the South special: good food, great people, and excellent beer. He never anticipated his 10-year journey of brewing all around the country would bring him back home. A believer at heart of continuous learning, Kevin is a graduate of the Siebel Institute of Chicago with a diploma in Advanced Brewing Theory, and he has worked at both large- and small-scale breweries in Portland, OR; Kona, HI; and Chicago, IL. He is additionally a Certified Cicerone and a Recognized BJCP judge.

When he’s not at the brewery, Kevin enjoys playing video games, golfing, reading about Roman history, fostering or rescuing dogs and cats, and traveling as much as possible with his wife. Ask him about his pets and you’ll receive a montage of his two dogs Cusco and Havi, as well as his two cats Orion and Neptune. You’ll probably also find him around the city eating at his favorite vegetarian restaurants, taking in an Atlanta United game, or enjoying a beer at Fire Maker or any of its neighboring breweries.

A fan of classic styles, Kevin loves infusing old-school brewing techniques and recipes with new-school flavors and ingredients, always striving to create everyone’s perfect beer!
