Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I have worked for Backspace in downtown Portland for about five years. I consider myself an excellent barista, and decent trainer. I love curating and developing new products. I am not only a coffee nerd, I also constantly research and entertain myself by finding out more about all beverages.

About Me:

I am a barista and photographer. I am not sure at this point which career is funding the other. I need both to be happy.

About My Company:

Backspace is a powerhouse. We have focused closely on coffee for five years now, while still fostering our art gallery, computer gaming center, and role as an all ages venue at night. If you have not visited Backspace before, you will be impressed by our professionalism, our distinctiveness, and the depth of our community.
