About Me:

I have been in the coffee industry for over 18 years. As owner and roaster of a coffee roasting/wholesale company in Northern California, I gained an understanding of the needs and challenges that face small businesses. My hands on approach and deep understanding of the coffee business provide excellent insight in financial planning for coffee retailers, wholesalers and roasters.

I have held executive positions in finance and administration, marketing, retail operations and strategic planning. I was Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Barnie’s Coffee and Tea Company and has held positions of increasing responsibility with Starbucks Coffee Company, Sony, British Petroleum, Blockbuster Entertainment and Eddie Bauer.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

I love the variety of flavor profiles and the sense of community this product creates
