Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I started out at Starbucks where I lasted a whole, impressive three months and learned a lot of what not to do. After that I worked at two different local coffee shops, learned how not only work a semi-auto espresso machine but rock it as well as a 20oz extra dry skim cappuccino and ristretto shots, to list a few. Being a barista isn't just a job, it's my life and my passion, and I'd love to go back to it.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
Anywhere else in Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, possibly Washington and Montana.
About Me:

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
The product, the people, the lifestyle.

    I got that you do all these great things but what was it that got you fired? All I could figure based on your story, there must be an attitude that was not landing well within their business. What was it? Why would I want to know anything else, if I were considering hiring you. Ya got to come clean. That is where a person shines...being responsible without blame and fault.
