Born and raised in California. I'm a private music educator and play mostly jazz guitar lately (early influences were rock, metal, classical). I also enjoy cooking, skateboarding, weight-lifting, and chilling out with my fiancé and puppy.

About My Company:

Since 2003 Barefoot has focused on treating our coffees like a culinary art. We roast to order in small batches which allows us to highlight origin character versus roast character so you can experience the uniqueness of each coffee's terroir.
