About Me:

I am the kind of person you love to meet. I am nice and open to many different ideas and personalities. I love meeting new people, but I am very happy with the old one that I already have. I am lucky to work in a coffee shop where my coworkers are my friends and for a company where even the owner knows my name. I minored in Spanish in college, and my biggest regret is that I didn't study abroad when I had the chance. I hope to continue to pursue languages like arabic, italian, french, and hindi. Ohio has been a great place to spend 22 years but I am ready to get out and see the world.

Boston Stoker rocks the ohio coffee scene by providing "freaky fresh" products of the highest quality known to humankind. With passionate attention paid to store cleanliness and the development of a highly knowledgeable staff, Boston Stoker is focused on developing meaningful relationships with individuals and organizations both locally and throughout the galaxy.
That is the mission statement...as silly as it may seem that is exactly what Boston Stoker is all about. Fresh ideas, fresh produce, fresh personalities, culminating in a fresh experience.
