I help organizations tell their stories in ways that will reach the right audience.

I am a communications and marketing professional with nearly 20 years experience in the pubic and private sectors and I develop strategy and engaging communications materials to reach customers and stakeholders. I have experience crafting and executing effective marketing plans, leading digital and social media strategy, planning customer events and trade shows, and developing digital and traditional communication tools. I get excited about the opportunity to help people share their passion with the world.

I’m also, first and foremost, a writer; and I really like beer.

Since 2011, I have written about beer and politics and the places where the two intertwine for The Globe and Mail, Toronto Life, NOW Magazine, The Growler, Original Gravity, Post City, blogTO, Torontoist, and more.  In 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 I was voted the “The Best Beer Writer in Ontario” at the Golden Tap Awards.

In addition to my day job and raising two children, I sporadically maintain the popular website Ben’s Beer Blog and, since 2020 when most people stopped reading, I have hosted the podcast Beer and Bullshit.

I welcome any invitations to discuss your passion project or meet up for a beer.
