About Me:

I've wanted to be a barista since I was 16 years old. Finally accomplishing that goal at 18, I've worked as a barista, manager and trainer for the past 7 years.

I've competed in the 2010 GLRBC and Seattle 09 Millrock.

I'm currently trying to bribe someone to teach me more about roasting, green coffee buying and harvesting. (Willing to learn for zero pay!)

About My Company:

I currently work for Cuppa Joe in Traverse City, MI as the manager of the Horizon Bookstore location. I'm also the quality control trainer for all employees and the voice of reason.
