Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
Head barista at Contraband Coffee and Head barista/coffee program manager at Coffee Bar. Started pouring coffee in Mendocino, since then I've worked in Seattle, NYC, and my home here in the bay. Emphasis on high end espresso, hallow leaf full cup rosettas, and juggling behind a machine in super fast paced environments.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
Anywhere and everywhere.
About Me:
I love learning and teaching; coffee, music, bikes, and books mostly, but I'm quick to get excited about anything progressive.
About My Company:
Contraband is a local bay area roaster and shop, my second home. Synesso hydra, versalab dual hopper, and some kalita wave pour overs. Nine or ten rotating single origins and a rock solid illicit espresso blend. Coffee Bar is a rapidly expanding powerhouse of a shop. My location has 2 LM Strada MP's, 2 Mazzer Majors and 2 Roburs, we also tout a slew of kalita waves for the slow bar. Great coffee at breakneck speeds.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
Learning something new everyday.
