Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I've only been doing coffee for the past 6 years, but in that time, I have managed a couple of shops. Truthfully, though, I love making coffee (drip/vac/French Press/Aeropress), pulling great shots, and pleasing the customer more than just about anything else I do.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I would love to travel - would be able to do regional trips (Illinois, Ohio, Indiana) - given the right timing.

About Me:

For me life is about Coffee and Congas - and I find the two similar. The rhythm of pulling shots in a decent shop is like dropping in to a great song. I'm happily married to a law student (a feat in and of itself). I plan on having my own shop to present coffee in it's proper context as soon as I learn enough about the other aspects of the business.

About My Company:

I've worked in a series of valiant efforts.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
