Interview for Beer Blogger's Conference

Nearly a month ago I attended the first annual Beer Blogger's Conference in Boulder, Colorado. I currently operate another beer blog at beerandscifi.com, which is often about the sociological aspects of drinking, but since moving to Colorado I have been wanting to "focus" more on the craft beer in the specific area that I moved to. I wanted to create a blog that would have interviews with local brewers, list all upcoming events, do local beer reviews and more. Below is a little teaser of the interview, but you really should check out the Beer Blogger's Conference Website to see the whole thing:

I really like the new angle on local beer at Focus on the Beer and am curious – did this come out of an idea from the conference?
 
In a way it did come out of the conference. I’ve been struggling for about a year now with my older blog beerandscifi, trying to rethink my goals with it. When I moved to Colorado 3 months ago I could see that the area needed something that was a little more like Brewpublic. I’m friends with Angelo but after spending 3 days with him I was inspired, and then after being at the conference I was also really inspired. I’ve made 6 blog posts in one week on both blogs, I finally got the energy and “balls” to just start the thing, and I have ideas streaming into my head every day. The conference was a huge inspiration for me...

What do you do for a living and why are you currently in Colorado Springs?

I moved to Colorado Springs for a teaching job at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. I’m teaching entry level art classes, as well as a few other classes like “Art and Social Practice” where I concentrate on how contemporary artists think about community and engage the public, or how artists use food and drink as their artwork...
