Background

About Greg Coll

I have always had a fascination for business. Growing up my father owned his own company, and by the age of 12 I was filing papers and heading out on the road with him absorbing all there was to learn. My passion continued to develop by forming a high school hockey team, creating live music events in college, founding an event based non-profit, Ales for Autism, and I have been able to spend 18 wonderful years in the most incredible craft beer industry. Most recently, I have been able to advance my career with a move over to the hotel industry to gain valuable experience working at a luxury resort hotel nestled in the redwoods. I spent my professional career working in many facets of business which have allowed me to grow in ways which I will always be thankful for. I have had the opportunity to create unique ways to stand out from the crowd. Successes achieved during my career include-Main contributor to Fogbelt Brewing Company's success and increasing taproom revenue by double digits year over year along, building out a prominent regional self-distribution network, and creating many successful events and marketing strategies which allowed Fogbelt to stand out amongst fierce regional competition-Successfully raised money and awareness growing a passion project non-profit, Ales for Autism, from humble beginnings to working with Ratebeer.com to co-create an internationally recognized bee festival and awards show-Created and organized the Santa Rosa Beer Passport with Visit Santa Rosa which won the Best Idea Program Award from Destination Marketing Association of the West. The award was earned as it provided community members affected by the Tubb's Fire an outlet for healing-Most of all gaining professional real world experience, meeting friends, making memories, and helping people in need has been my true successes in life. I love to connect with people from all walks of life, so please don't hesitate to send me a message.
