About Me:
I was born in 1975, two years after my father started our family coffee roasting business and over the years, I fell in love with the idea and concept of specialty coffee. I am married with three kids and have partnered with my brother to take our family business into the next generation. Both my brother and I have grown up in and around all aspects of the coffee world. We have been fortunate enough to participate in almost every level of coffees journey (picking coffee, milling coffee, roasting coffee and finally preparing coffee) and we have developed a diverse perspective because of this exposure. Our objective is one of education and quality, two concepts that we will always hold true to the spirit of our family business.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

    Hi Michael! Thanks for finding me on Barista Exchange. I have looked at your website and I'm quite interested. However, I won't be open for at least another 6 months or so. We'll keep in touch. Thank you.
