About Me

May 15th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

The previous bios about me have been long and overwhelming. Now, we’ll keep it short(er) and sweet.

  • Erie, PA by birth | Pittsburgher by the grace of God
  • Educated at University of Pittsburgh & Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Graduated Cum Laude.
  • I manage the social media and web world in higher ed and I’ve won multiple awards doing it. Even Visit Pittsburgh digs it.
  • I like to talk about social media, a lot. This is why I present at Podcamp Pittsburgh and do many speaking engagements about the subject.
  • I produce a popular craft beer podcast with fans worldwide and have been on cable tv & a national magazine because of it. I write about craft beer. I make craft beer. You want me as your neighbor.
  • I’m the content and coding web guy for rock band The Clarks
  • I’m the father of 2 boys. Future draft picks or evil geniuses. Time will tell.
  • I love hockey. I love the Pens. Come in between those things and you’ll find out why I put on the foil.
  • I enjoy helping out with local charities. More specifically March of Dimes, Cystic Fibrosis and Muscular Dystrophy Association (2007 “Pittsburgh’s Most Wanted“)

    Wow, I thought you looked familiar Doug, or should I say The Most Reverand Father Spoon. I was browsing through some blogs, getting ready to try and network a little before Podcamp and came across this blog. I saw your picture and had to click”about”.

    You are quite accomplished and I am especially impressed for your work with Jerry’s kids!! As I eluded to in a previous post on SIDT I want to thank you for taking a little of the edge off while I was stationed in Iraq, your show (SIDT) had me laughin and craving beer. Thanks again, Hutch Jr. Burghseyeview…..I can’t drink craft beer as a main staple, I’d never get anything done, but I’m working on a case of Elliot Ness one bottle at a time. I loved your solution for Miller Lite enhancement it had me cracking up. Feel free to list my site http://www.burghseyeview.com a real Yinzer site thanks

    Hutch! Thanks for stoppin by! I think that Great Lakes Brewing brews only goodness as I’ve never had a bad beverage from them.

    Podcamp Pittsburgh 3 is going to be one hella great time this year and I’m excited to be a part of it for a 3rd year. We’ll be giving a talk with the Wrestling Mayhem Show which is always a room filler and the after party has become legendary!

    Stay safe my man!
