Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I'm not necessarily interested in an exchange any time soon, but I am interested in keeping pulse on the industry. One day, that may change. It's hard to "exchange" with someone when you are a sole proprietor.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I'm pretty open to suggestions, usually.

About Me:

I am a staff member of Barista Exchange, and as such, I would like to remind everyone to read the Acceptable Use Policy & Content Moderation document Acceptable Use Policy & Content Moderation (Click) I have worked as a barista trying to improve quality for awhile. When I noticed this just wasn't doing the job, I ventured out on my own to do independent training and consulting to help improve the quality in the area. It's slow-going, but catching on. I also run a Texas Coffee industry community at http://tx-coffee.com . If you live in/visit Texas, and you work in coffee, you need to visit this site. "I'm just in it for the coffee"
