Role at Lonerider: As Brewery Manager, I strive to make sure that our team has what they need to produce at their highest potential and enjoyment, while efficiently growing the brewery.

"The quality of what we engage with during our lives assists in defining the quality of our lives" ~ Ralfy the whisky reviewer
Personal Interests: I was raised in Apex, NC. I spent a few years as an active homebrewer in the Raleigh community before receiving the International Diploma in Brewing Technology at Siebel Institute in Chicago and Munich in '08. I've been brewing Lonerider beer ever since. When I'm not at the brewery, I'm spending time with my family and friends and I usually have my nose buried in a pint of beer or a glass of single malt whisky.
Role at Lonerider: I am the head brewer at Lonerider. I am responsible for recipe development, keeping raw ingredients in stock, ensuring the quality of our products and processes, being friendly when I'm out in public and of course going to the brewery every day and making beer.
Fun Facts: I like to dance, but not too close to bystanders. I AM old enough to drink. I don't get tan in the summer. I don't need cool weather to drink dark beer

"Fools are the only folk on earth who can absolutely count on getting what they deserve" ~ Cortland Andrus via Stephen King
Personal Interests: I enjoy tinkering and I'm always working on at least three different projects at home, probably involving motorcycles and musical equipment. I also enjoy growing roses and Orchids. I love Raptors and have been lucky enough to have met falconers that allow me to join them while they hunt with their hawks. I hope to one day get my General Falconers License and hunt with a bird of my own.
Role at Lonerider: As one of the Lonerider brewers, I'm responsible for the production and quality of the beer from grain to glass. On any given day you'll find me heaving grain sacks, mashing, boiling, weighing out hops and cleaning....sometimes all at once. I've been brewing professionally for over three years, and I love how my craft continues to challenge me. I also enjoy the fruit of my labor after I'm done for the day -- I enjoy consuming the beer almost as much as I do making it. If asked which Lonerider beer is my favorite, I'll tell you that I love them all but in different ways...It's a lot like asking a parent if they have a favorite child.
Fun Facts: I've been electrocuted so many times, by every voltage at various amperages, that I've built up an immunity to electricity.

"I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, but I'm all out of bubble gum."
Personal Interests: New hiking/camping places, physics, biology, drawing, movies, the location of Big Foot. I enjoy good beers, building random things, disassembling random inanimate objects, hanging around a fire with good company, or blowing a cooler up.
Role at Lonerider: The cellarman! Responsible for assisting the brewery staff and production staff in producing exceptionally high quality and consistent beer brewed to Lonerider standards.
Fun Facts: I have 3 cartoons tattoes. Never without a hat. Ambitious about finding the Loch Ness Monster. Have a solid zombie apocalypse survival plan.

"Candy is dandy, But liquor is quicker." ~ Oden Nash
Personal Interests: Avid sailor, having sailed two Newport-Bermuda races, countless buoy races of all kinds. Owned a horse for 23 years who taught me many great lessons I might have otherwise missed, seeing the world through others' eyes and appreciating the exquisite beauty of the natural order. I'm always learning.
Role at Lonerider: Brewery consigliore; process improvement sensei, cellar rat. I fix things that need fixing, try to make everything run better, put smiles on faces, and lend a hand where needed.
Fun Facts: Ex corporati. I reached escape velocity and found myself in a brewery. Cool! Also, direct descendant of Frank McLaury who lost a famous gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone. Outlaw is in my blood.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." ~ Theodore Roosevelt
Personal Interests: Spending time with my family, promoting Triangle Spokes Group (a local non-profit committed to providing bikes to kids during the holidays), Green Bay Packers football, New York Yankees baseball and playing the harpsichord.
Role at Lonerider: If it has to do with sales and marketing at Lonerider, I'm knee-deep.
Fun Facts: I'm an only child who has a complex about people who say I have the only-child complex. Also, my first job out of college was repossessing cars. So, if you owe us money, I will find you.

"there's no crying in baseball!"
Personal Interests: I love being the mother of the most beautiful 9 year old girl on earth. I am from Asheville but have been in Raleigh for 2 years now and it has stolen my heart. I have an amazing boyfriend who makes the best craft beer around! My original passion was medicine but somehow the craft beer industry sucked me in and now I'm hooked. I am an avid member of the Ready 2 Dance group at the YMCA. And yes, that is a hip hop dance group and I have been known to break it down at Isaac Hunters, the Pourhouse, and the Bison
Role at Lonerider: I rock the Triangle area, selling the best beers in NC to everyone! I am the chic you see sampling beer and giving out swag at bars and festivals. I also keep the boys in the brewhouse in line.

Personal Interests: Art. Architecture. Photography. I like music, but not all music. I like golf. Independent films. Classic cars, riding with the top down feeling the cool breeze crash against my face. I like sunny days, and rainy nights. I like a baby’s laughter and elderly couples holding hands.

I love life.
Role at Lonerider: To become master of the universe one beer at a time. Also manage sales in Charlotte.
Fun Facts: I am lactose intolerant – but I’ll eat the piece of cheese anyway. Short – but I like to say I’m average because it makes me feel taller. Have a mean puh puh poker face- you got to know when to hold ’em , know when to fold ‘em. Terrified of earthquakes, thunder, and cockroaches.

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." ~ Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
Personal Interests: I love to do anything I haven't done before, sing and dance whenever I like. I adore stories in any form: to read, watch, listen to, and write them. I live to cook and savor all that is ever placed on my plate or in my cup - Chinese food, in particular, is a crippling addiction of mine. I am compelled to photograph anything that may interest me and it may not always be of something pretty - I draw and paint the same way. But what I love most of all is to inspire others to find passion. Oh,and I love me a damn good beer.
