Dennis began homebrewing as a hobby in the early 2000's while working for IBM. It started with an extract kit from Midwest Supplies. After one extract brew he knew he was hooked and built a 6 tap kegerator and an all grain setup in the following weeks.  Dennis and Daniel met Tom at a homebrewing conference in 2009, it was there where they hatched their plans to open Echo Brewing in 2012.  So far Dennis has won 6 Great American Beer Fest Medals. Dennis moved to Ouray in 2018 to open Colorado Boy Southwest Pub with Daniel. When he isn't at the pub you can find him still enjoying brewing in Ridgway or in one of Colorado Boy's pizza kitchens.
