About Me:
Currently am a manager at ParkGrounds in Atlanta, a great coffee shop. I love getting my hands dirty behind the machine and pulling great shots for our customers. I was the sales manager and barista trainer for J. Martinez & Company, which is a local Atlanta roaster and the 1st in the industry to offer single-origin estate coffees back in the 80's.
My friends call me the ATL-ien, cause I am one of the few natives here left, go figure. Glad that my 'hood now has a lot of coffee folks, Back in the day we only had a few starbucks and recently have had a coffee explosion of great shops and even better baristas.
Love to cup coffee and could talk for days about the combination of plant varieltals vs. soil composition.
