About Me:
I began my coffee career at the now closed It's a Grind/Mug-Shot in Highland Michigan. I must say I was drawn into the high end coffee industry by the passionate baristas and the atmosphere at the Ugly Mug in Ypsilanti, MI. While traveling around Michigan after the demise of The Mug-Shot, I experienced many different styles of coffee shops: independent (cafe 1923), corporate(Asian Village Detroit), good (MCB), and bad(fill in the blank_____), and was moved to take my passion to a new level, which happens to be my main aspiration in the coffee world, I spent a year at Kozy Koffee in Highland Michigan learning, researching, and working on all aspects of the wonder that is "Coffee!"
