Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I am the lead Barista/trainer for a small coffee shop in Phoebus Virginia, near Norfolk. I have a knack for customer interaction. I make every customer feel special. I call it the Cheers syndrome. You know "a place where everybody knows your name" :-)
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
Well being a Barista is not my full time bread winning job. So anywhere that I can with little impact to the 9-5. Central east coast U.S., and would love to work a bit in Mainland Italy, having lived in Sicily already.
About Me:
I have a deep passion for providing a good tasting, good feeling coffee experience to my customers. I like them knowing that I made that drink just for them. I am retired from the U.S. Air Force after 23 years service. I have visited most countries of the northern hemisphere, and a few south, but none in South America. My other passion is racing Sailboats! Our coffee shop is 1000ft or so from the Chesapeake Bay!
About My Company:
Anne, the owner and baker extraordinare created her shop because she couldn't find a good cup of coffee in the area. We opened October 2007. We also have a full sandwich menu and baked fresh daily scones, muffins and such. This is the second coffee shop I have been involved with. Both have had the feel of being the social center of town. We are Brunch central on Sunday!
