About Me:
Married. Have a Dobbie named Sedona, cat named Toby. Love to play golf, hike and explore new restaraunts. "Light My Fire" by the Doors is in my top 3 favorite songs.

About My Company:
We are very focused on customer satisfaction...we listen for "this is the best" from customers as this gives us a measure on how we are doing. We employ 4-5 well trained Baristas....pouring 24sec. shots and steaming milk "thick". We do not offer internet (thank god) and surprisingly people have appreciated our being authentic. We serve 150-200 people per day. We offer panini sans/bakery items and gelato during the summer.
