Profile Information:

What is your position in the coffee industry?: barista, manager
Where are you located? ( City and Country ): Kansas City, Mo
How many years have you been in the industry?: Since 2003
If you are a barista or shop, are you interested in a barista exchange with another coffee shop/barista?: yes
Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.: I was in the restaurant business 17 years before being liberated into the coffee world. I believe quality, and consistency of quality with speed are my strong suites. When doing pastries I have been accused of making stuff so consistent that it looks commercially made. Having been thrown on "the line" to cook for a night with no more training than reading the menu and being shown where things are, I believe this shows my adaptability.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?: I am open to all. I would like to travel back to Norway having spent a summer in Bodo, but any city in or out of the United States is fine with me.
About Me:: Happy to be in the community of the the coffee world. I took my first job in coffee to get out of restaurants and quickly realized I loved it so much more I have worked to stay in the industry ever since. I seem to have fallen into the ability to do multiple pours on one drink, loving the reactions of customers when I ask if I can take a picture of their drink.

When I am not making or reading about coffee, I love watching Sci-Fi, reading techno-thrillers, cooking, playing violin or trumpet and running sound whenever I can.
About My Company:: Currently between companies
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?: COMMUNITY!!!

I imagine it was taken in high school. I collected a bunch of photos from 'my' room at Thanksgiving and decided to put this one up as all the others of me in coffee I had a t-shirt of another shop on.

I'm doing great. What do you mean, chilly? The thermometer is reading double digits. But it has been snowing all morning. I did go to Tabor for 2 years as a Music Performance/Education Major before I went to culinary school and eventually liberated myself into coffee. I even took violin lessons at Heston College for one year.
