About Me:
I consider myself an advocate and steward of the coffee. I enjoy the new challenges that arise in coffee to constantly cause me to learn new things and become more and more flexible in my approach to coffee and life. I have a beautiful wife, Katie, a son, Asher, and a daughter, Elliana. They are a constant source of pride and joy in my life. For me all things in life are to be pursued with humility and excellence, and my motivation for doing so is because of a life-changing encounter with God. When I have free time I enjoy playing basketball, paintball, and chess, as well as cafe hopping.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
The way coffee can sweep you off your feet with this intoxicating romace that motivates you to always become a better steward of the coffee. A very close second being the relational aspect that draws all walks of life to culminate around this beverage.
