About Me:
I'm 32, married to a great woman who's a better roaster than me. I have three kids, 6, 3 & 2, all of whom love coffee and eagerly seek unattended Americanos. I love coffee, the people that are involved in the industry, all of the cool equipment & gear associated with it. I live in the pacific northwest, don't mind the rain very much, love the outdoors, don't spend enough time in it & need to lose 20 pounds.
