Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I started as a Barista on a La Marzocco Linea. i enjoyed that for 3 years. Then I became a technician, and did that for four years, eventually becoming a trainer. Now I'm a facilities service manager. I oversee the building, major equipment, and service providers for about 80 Starbucks locations in the the Greater Atlanta and North Georgia area. In August of 2013 I was fortunate enough to become part of the Batdorf & Bronson team. Never want to work anywhere else. These folks are so good, and their coffee is superb. I love my job, I love all good coffee, I love all good coffee people, and I love riding my motorcycles.
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
Italy, Spain, Maine, Australia, and New Zealand for starters.
About Me:

About My Company:
Batdorf & Bronson is such a fine company through and through. When you work for Batdorf you don't have to do a little song and dance about any part of the company. You can be proud of every part. And I am.
What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
Enjoying such cool and wonderful people who share a passion for great coffee, and exceptional methods of brewing it. When they ride motorcycles too, it's just that much better.
