Profile Information

What is your position in the coffee industry?
coffee shop owner
Where are you located? ( City and Country )
Salt Lake City, Utah
How many years have you been in the industry?
2
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.
Last Year I join Matt Milleto at The American Barista School. I took the full business seminar with them and learn most facts about this industry. The following 8 months I start construction of our first coffee shop in Salt Lake City, UT. The experience has been rewarding and all the knowledge gain at the school more than helpfull during the process of opening the store. I offer to bare my experience to those who are in the process to start their own business.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
New York, Boston, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Italy, Romania.
About Me:
I grew up in the bigest city in the world, Mexico City. Graduate as an Electrical Engineer and start working as an entrepeneur at the age of 18, move back to the US in 1993 and start a small company in the automation and controls industry. During the process I relocate myself in many cities such Chicago, Miami, Orlando, Montreal, Toronto and Milan. The last one took me to Utha where me and my family settle for the last 7 years and we enjoy live among the LDS comunity; great experience and challenging process for growth.

Hi,

I just joined the website here. I am a coffee (amateur) drinker who just recently relocated to slc from Seattle area. I am looking for a brewing class in the slc area. Do you know of any place that might offer those?
Thanks for reading and sorry about bugging you.
