what can i say here... i've been working in the coffee business since i was 16 years old. once having my first cup of good coffee i was sold, and haven't looked back since. in 2003 i was fortunate enough to join an amazing team of insanely passionate coffee crazed people at the java house in iowa city. whom only wanted to learn more, and help the company grow. from then untill the fall of 2008 i helped the company grow from three locations to eight. from managing smaller locations, to helping manage the beasts, as we liked to call the very busy locations. from around 2004 on i was espresso training hundreds of new baristas at all locations on la marzoccos mainly. and yes some frankes too. the story goes on and on.. honestly there really has not been a lot i haven't done. apart from roasting i've had my hand in most of it all from bar, operations, managing, new drink development, cupping, training, machine repairs, general maintenance, inventory, warehouse, delivery driver, you get the just of it. it's who i am, and what i love.
