I transitioned to our delivery department, thus becoming familiar with the coffee scene thoughout the Pacific Northwest.

About Me:

In addition to being a coffee fiend, I love great wine, beer, liquid couture in general! While imbibing some wonderful concoction, one may find me watching a Tim Burton film, dabbling in something I'd like to think of as art, throwing toys for the dogs, or lounging with the cats.
