German Tradition, Crafted in Michigan
Director of Happiness
Dave was born in Grand Rapids and went to school both in Kalamazoo, as Bells Brewery was starting, and in Germany, where a love of Bavarian Bier und Kulture was solidified. With nearly two decades in the beer and hospitality industry, Dave is thrilled to no longer be wearing a tie to work. A fan of shade trees in the Biergarten, Tiger baseball, Steeler football, Chopin concertos, N.W.A. on cassette, and questionable clothing choices, he’s the man behind Gemütlichkeit in Cedar Springs.

April has been in the industry since she was 14, scoring her first restaurant job at an ice cream shop/cafe in Newaygo, where she also graduated. She knew the industry was for her. She’s a mom to some crazy kiddos, who make life very interesting at all times. In her free time, she loves to watch football, “Go Pack Go!,” although the game isn’t quite what it used to be. She also enjoys hanging with my family and friends, traveling, and cooking.
“CSBrew has been an amazing second home to me. From the knowledge I have gained about beer and the industry, to the people who have become ‘my peeps.’ I am grateful I landed here!”
