In 1992 I started in the Alcohol/ CPG Industries as a Sales Representative for a Miller Distributor in Grand Rapids, Michigan and then over the past 30+ years, have been fortunate enough to work for Bacardi, U.S.A., Frito Lay, Redhook Brewery, Anheuser Busch and finally Pabst Brewing Company before, gratefully, having the opportunity to come to COOP Ale/Beverage Works. During those career stops, I have lived in 10 different states and 13 different cities, residing on both coasts, spanning the upper midwest and the deep south.
I have an amazing Fiancé, Kim Hindsley, who has been with me for many of my adventures. I truly enjoy the outdoors, am looking forward to increasing my efforts towards “cycling” around Lake Hefner as well as bringing daily collaborative efforts towards not only the improvement of company performance, but also company engagement. I fully believe in a “ONE TEAM/ ONE DREAM” way of working and have an open-door policy embracing a creed of “Doing right, doing your best and treating others as you would like to be treated” and rarely will turn down an opportunity to share an COOP Ale/Beverage Works product with anyone at any time.
