About Me
I am fortunate to live in one of the most unique biospheres in the world, the Texas Hill Country. More and more craft beverage producers are calling this area home too. It is also drying quickly – we have been in a drought for over a year. There are things I want to experience with my children and them with their future children, like floating the river with a cold drink in the dead heat of summer. To do so, we must be creative and resourceful with our fragile karst and aquifer system. It’s important everyone knows how much water it takes to do everyday activities like drinking soda or beer to recreational water activities. I intend to make that my life's work. It may seem overly simple, but this is my why.
