Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I've been a barista for the bulk of my years in the industry, with long stints in managment as well, and am just now lucky enough to be apprenticing under the guiding hands and wisom of Scott Richardson, here at Herkimer Coffee. I've been told that I'm a solid trainer on bar as well.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
All of them!
About Me:
I started making espresso like many do, just out of high school, and didn't give it much serious thought for many years. Then, while in college, I discovered Vivace here in Seattle, and I pretty much freaked out. I clawed and scrapped my way into Vivace, where I spent over 3 happy years, working on bar, and being David Schomer's wingman at 3 separate SCAA Coffee Fest conventions. Good, good times. Since then, I've looked for nothing but the best the scene has to offer here, which is plentiful indeed. Its an embarassment of riches in Seattle for coffee. I've been incredibly lucky to spend the last 3 years with Herkimer Coffee, where I work bar, co-manage, and am learning the roasting craft - finally! I've got a LOT to learn still!
About My Company:
Herkimer Coffee is for hardcore coffee nerds.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
Firstly the coffee of course, closely followed by the "barista thing". Baristas are an amazing breed.
