Robert is an award winning brewer and electronics technician with a deep affection for both technology and beer. Rob served in the United States Navy as an aviation electronics specialist in both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, specializing in F-18 radar systems. After completing two tours of duty on the USS John C. Stennis, Rob pivoted towards every sailor’s true passion, beer. He spent four years as president of the North County Homebrewers Association homebrew club, became a BJCP certified beer judge and was awarded a certificate in brewing science from the Siebel Institute of Technology. In 2010 Rob became a partner in Aztec Brewing Company and served as head brewer and brewery operations manager. After seeing Aztec through several expansions and creating beers that won medals in competitions as far away as China, Rob departed from the brewery in 2014 to work on brewery automation full time, because once you’ve won China, where do you go from there?
