Todd Venning (email: toddv “at” beermen “dot” tv) <- replace “at” with @ and “dot” with .
Todd doesn’t have an interesting story to tell you about his upbringing. He doesn’t herald from a long line of master brewers and thankfully was fortunate enough to have a stereotypical childhood. Thanks to a healthy blend of left and right-brain genetic material from his parents, a lot of love and growing up in Perth, Western Australia – the craft beer capital of Australia, he does have a lifelong love of the brew and a 20 year professional obsession with technology. He is fortunate enough to be able to bring these two passions together on a mission to highlight the subtleties, nuances and varieties of beer that to him, place it upon an altar above any other liquid. He ran an online consultancy business in the ‘90s before the lure of the bright lights of the east coast of Australia became too strong and he headed to Sydney with his wife to move into the black-arts of IT governance, strategy and architecture in various forms within the financial services industry. His wife would say that he’s particularly active in the online world and his peers would say that he’s prone to unleashing and experimenting with adoption of online technologies within the corporate world for business benefit. Todd lives life according to the gospel of his 4yr old son – anything is possible if you don’t know what’s possible. Co-host of BeerMen.tv and long-time technology blogger, he believes that the online world opens up new possibilities for what human interractions can achieve on both a personal and professional level. |

Damien Siviero (email: damien “at” beermen “dot” tv)
Damien is a Sydney based IT guy who has had a love affair with the golden liquid that stretches back over 15 years. Having been an avid home brewer for many years, he maintains a constant supply of draught beer at home with no less than two taps on the go at any one time. When not brewing up beer or IT solutions, Damien is often found pursuing a passion for technical scuba diving. As an internationally published underwater photographer, he strives to capture images that make people stop and appreciate the underwater realm. Damien heavily denies rumours that he religiously consumes one beer for every hour that he is underwater; it is one beer for every minute. Checkout Damien’s website at http://damiensiviero.com |
