Hey Ken,

I haven't been in the industry for 29 years like you have, but i have had a good fair amount of experience for the time i have been in the industry. I started out as a barista 8 years ago, working up our regional mgr. From there, i headed up our distribution and roasting company for almost a year before i started traveling and opening the new stores for our company. I have also been a station instructor for SCAA on a few espresso classes. As far as the "consultant" goes, I am a training and operations consultant to new stores opening. Most of the time for the Bear Creek stores, but have done several trainings for independently named shops throughout the country as well.

Others in our company that make up our consultant team each have 20+ years experience in project management, sales, and former starbucks senior management. That being said, I'm definitely the young guy on our team.

I didn't mean to offend you by calling myself a consultant but by your definition of 2+ decades, Matt Milleto wouldn't be considered a consultant either. I personally think he is one of the best in the industry in what he does. Aside from that, i'm glad that he started this site to help network and allow people like me to learn a few things from my peers like yourself.

Cheers
