Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I still have much to learn. I can create a consistent product. I have a pretty good understanding of coffee. I can pour pretty good latte art. I can tame Chuck Norris. I like to take macro shots of espresso with my digital slr. I enjoy making the most out of americanos.
In all seriousness... I can keep a machine EXTREMELY clean. I back flush a lot and wipe the screen in the groupe head whenever I have a spare moment.
I don't have hyperhidrosis.
I was raised on Intelli's Black Cat.
I enjoy single origin espressos.
Gimmie's Leftist espresso is pretty good.
I am yet to experience a shot of Toscano that TRULY satisfied me.
Beloya Selection 1 made me the happiest man alive...
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
ANYWHERE.
About Me:
I am definitely still in the beginning process as far as my interest in specialty coffee goes. I hope to someday compete in a barista competition... I love to make music. I am hoping to dive into recording and producing bands. I have a girl who is a total babe (she loves me back too)... I couldn't be happier with life at this point...

What about it?
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
That it is new and the people that are a part of it ALL care so deeply about what they do. I have never been a part of anything as edifying as Specialty Coffee...
