About Me:
I've been in the coffee business for more than 20 years now...began as a barista.
In 1990, I learned how to roast on a L12 Probat shop roaster. The boss just showed me how to turn it on and which beans he wanted roasted French (all coffee was French Roast). I told him to go golfing and leave me to it. That was the best job ever!
I went to Norway in 1998 and learned more than I could have imagined.
I have been a roaster, green buyer, sales rep, product consultant, and trainer in coffee.
I'm very active in with committee work for the SCAA.
To make a living, I teach people things about coffee.
About My Company:
TDR and the String Ball Project is a concept based on the idea that all work that I do in coffee contributes to a larger plan. The plan is to work towards better coffees and better coffee experiences.
Let me know if you want the longer explanation.
