I’m a coffee roaster.

When people hear that, they think of a guy in an apron feeding beans into a big metal machine. That’s not what I do. I’m like a winemaker: I have to understand all the natural processes that go into making my coffee, from the soil to the sun to individual trees. When you taste my coffee, you’re tasting all of nature that went into it—soil, fruit from which it grew, weather conditions during harvest time—you name it! It’s so much more interesting than most people realize—when you get past those assumptions and really get into the details of what goes on at every stage in the process, there’s so much out there to explore! My job is to bring out all those luscious flavors in a smooth, elegant cup—a cup that lingers on your tongue and makes you feel like you’re experiencing this amazing world we live in.

Let me take you on an adventure through this wonderful world of specialty coffee!
