Noted: After graduating from Monroe High School in 2002, and later UW-Madison, Jeremy Beach took a job as a statistician with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Portland, Oregon, a region of the country bursting with craft beer. In 2009 he returned to UW-Madison for a master’s degree in rural sociology and then in 2011 returned to the USDA but at its headquarters in Washington, D.C. where he was a survey methodologist.
