About Me:

I am a roaster. Prior to that I managed a great coffee house that had to close down - I took the roaster and started my own business - internet sales and some retail...wholesale...a little of everything - you know..gotta please everyone... *groan*
I have great barista skills and know the industry well and dream only of taking my roaster maybe back into a coffee house of my own someday :) (most go from garage to store front..me , backwards ?!!) I am an Tri-athlete, martial artist , mom, wife, graphic artist, web designer, I can do it all - what can I say...blessed in many ways.. .health.. ..talent... .patience.... yes, and many flaws to balance the seesaw of life.

About My Company:

We are a small family owned coffee roasting business and wish to remain so because we can provide a unique service this way - it is more "personal" if you understand. We recognize b'days...holidays...family events...we will roast on demand as that is the only way one can guarantee the freshest coffee - n'est ce pas? I absolutely love my roaster, my job the people in the industry , the nations that provide for us - we need to give back in every way we can. Thank you.
