About Me:
I began my career in the specialty coffee industry as a part-time employee at an espresso drive-thru while attending college. Since that time, I have managed traditional coffeehouses, and coffee bars in gas stations, high end tobacco shops, and health food stores.

Prior to coming to Bellissimo, I managed a high profile coffeehouse in Seattle. During my tenure, sales at the coffeehouse nearly doubled and I gained a reputation as one of Seattle's best baristas. In 2002, I was voted "Best Barista in West Seattle" by readers of the West Seattle Herald and one of "Seattle's Favorite Baristas" by the readers of the Seattle Times. In 2003, I became the Executive Director of the Seattle Barista Academy, where I was responsible for the design and implementation of the school's curriculum, in addition to daily operations. I believes strongly in the importance of quality coffee coupled with great customer service when building community between patrons and staff.

    "picking up speed...", not really, it's more like a turtles pace now. thinking of making a move if things don't start to progress, we'll see what happens in the next few weeks. and you? you're probably a little excited about YOUR SEATTLE SEAHAWKS victory yesterday. keep in touch.
  • Matthew Alston

    Hey there Jared. Believe it or not I'm finally pouring hearts with some regularity! Wow! Learned from the best. Thanks!
  • Tim Noble

    Hey Jared,
    I hope you're recovering from that Seahawks game.
    All's well in Philly- I've got a killer property- part of a 7,500 sq. ft. multi-tenant space- that will hopefully close next month. 16 ft. ceilings, a balcony overlooking the stage area.
    Awesome street presence.
    Oh, and cheap, relatively. Life's good.
    I'm spending my Friday mornings with Phil Proteau from Counter Culture taking advantage of their free cuppings at Milkboy Coffee in Ardmore, PA.
    Are you going to be ready for a trip[ out here for some training later this Spring?
    Check my site out at www.townhallcoffee.com, and let me know what you think.
    Cheers!
    -Tim
