Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

Started at S&@%^&cks in 2004 - stepped out of the coffee industry for a couple years and came crawling back when a good buddy of mine was brought into the bees knees of Tucson culture (Avenue Coffee) as a co owner. He used to train me when he was pouring out of his cart for fun and now I get to work with him - in the middle of training now - I love it.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Used to live in Sydney - my favorite!
I really want to go to Europe and do it right. Japan would be cool as well.

About Me:

Musician by trade but passionate about coffee and would love to be able to compete one day. (quintessential, I know. What you gonna do?)

About My Company:

Avenue Coffee is a Tucson jewel - for the most part the desert folk are clueless about legit coffee culture and I feel a sense of pride being able to be under one of if not the only quality pouring shop in town. We have a freaking Clover! BAM.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

Latte art and people - I really enjoy anything that brings people in general but coffee seems to be one of the most universally accepted way to do that.
