Doug is a CPA whose background in finance led him to an 8 year tenure at Reyes Holdings, the largest beer distribution network in the US, in 2009. As craft beer became a more significant part of the company's strategy, Doug got the bug and started Instagramming about craft beer at his handle @beeraficionado.

His digital presence later evolved into an industry blog/substack called BeerCrunchers focusing on numbers, trends, & strategies, which has gone on to win three awards from the North American Guild of Beer Writers.

In 2016, Doug was hired as the CFO of Revolution Brewing, Illinois' largest independently owned craft brewery, but after four years his passions and understanding of the brand led to him becoming the company's first Chief Marketing Officer.

Today you can always find Doug on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter prepared to chat about the industry and have a few laughs, while providing perspective to beer fans and industry peers.
