About

I write. A lot. About things. And sometimes stuff too. Business broadly. Retail, restaurants, beer and cars specifically, though not always in that order. Want to chat IPAs? I can do that. Challenges facing teen retailers in this new fast-fashion world? Yup. Luxury car market? Sure thing. Backroom techy-stuff and systems? Not me. Gastropubs and tacos? You're speaking my language. Avid consumer of food, beer, books and entertainment.
