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.
