About Me:

Thank you for stopping by the store, I am your head Barista Eric, and "The Dripp" is my little corner of the world where I get to discuss the topics I like most. Business and the art of sales and marketing. I have spent twenty plus years branding, marketing, selling, cross promoting, co-oping, tracking, writing copy, managing, hiring, firing, and making everyone around me crazy!

In my toils for the man, I have come to want for a simple pleasure, Starbucks Coffee. You see, I have traveled all across this country of ours for a lot of those twenty years and I have counted over 300 Starbucks locations as my office, conference room, living room, and home away from home.

I have my favorite in each city but my absolute is the Bethesda Md. location on Norfolk Ave. It's a fantastic store with great views of everything going on right outside and the area is fantastic. I traveled every day of every week for five years. It was a grind and I am happy to be done with the traveling salesmen routine.
