Getting to Know Liles
What trait do you most value in your friends?
Their appreciation for a sunny day, a deck, and a cold beer.
Anything else you’d like to share?
I’m a huge craft beer fan. I started home brewing a few years ago, and due to my position with First Western, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a handful of breweries in the area. When I’m not BBQ’ing or brewing, I’m probably mountain biking.
