Andrew Henderson

Co-Founder/President

By day, Andrew Henderson is the talented founder of the Web development company, SuperWebDesignGuy. By night, it’s all about furthering The Beer Sessions.

After earning his degree from Boston College, Andrew returned to his native New York and spent nearly three years as an assistant editor for film and television at a prestigious and award-winning post production house in Manhattan. His talent for Web design began as an impressive hobby but quickly transitioned into a full-time operation handling Web needs for businesses large and small.

In his spare time, Andrew enjoys coaching high school football at his alma mater, Chaminade High School on Long Island, and socializing with friends over a good beer. So when he was approached by his partner Cassidy and her brother Eugene to develop a online magazine and television series around craft beer, it felt like a no-brainer.

Cassidy Catanzaro

Co-Founder/Host

Cassidy Catanzaro got her start in the music business. The first artist to sign a landmark record deal with Starbucks coffee chain and Atlantic Records, Cassidy spent from 1999 to 2008 as the lead singer and songwriter for a New York based rock band. With extensive world travel under her belt and a decade as a Manhattan resident, Cassidy developed a sophisticated palate for both food and drink. In 2009, she began writing freelance for various lifestyle magazines focused on dining, travel and nightlife.

Always up for a good brew, it was her brother Eugene that introduced her to the burgeoning world of craft beer production, sparking a passion to explore this uncharted territory further. You may recognize her from film, television, or the counter of your local Starbucks, but it is in the pages of The Beer Sessions alongside her family where Cassidy is making her latest mark, and she couldn’t be more excited.

Lydia Broussard

Staff Writer

A recent graduate of Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, Lydia can thank her time spent in the Western Massachusetts beer scene for such an early enthusiasm in craft beer. A freelance writer and photographer, Lydia’s taking some time away from pursuing a masters degree in sociology and new media design in order to sniff out her hobbies and develop a few hidden talents. A lover of media at heart, Lydia believes craft beer breweries are participating in a great change in social marketing, and wishes to use her time at The Beer Sessions to further examine the aesthetics and cultures that compose a lifestyle of making and drinking craft beer.
