Hi! I’m Ace: Your Designated Knox Nerd

Hailing from Green Bay, Wisconsin, I somehow knew my whole life I would eventually end up in Knoxville. After moving here in 2018 sight unseen, my love affair with Knoxville began! Since then, I have devoted myself to learning about local history & lore, and have been a passionate advocate for our craft beverage scene.

With over 8 years experience of giving facility tours, I pride myself on my “edutainment” approach: you will learn something AND you will have fun in the process!

Jack of all trades, master of the Brew-niverse!

With over a decade of extensive experience ranging from production and packaging, training and marketing, sales & social media management…Ace has done it all!
