I have been in the coffee business for eight years and have learned alot about dealing with customers, employees and have learned tons about coffee and where it comes from. I have been to Denver to train baristas there and have competed and placed in a national latte art competition in Seattle, Washington where resumes are requiered and one must be accepted.
