I’m a 20 year vet of the specialty coffee world with a focus on integrating sourcing, roasting, qc, and sales.
From a barista, to a green coffee buyer, to running a company, I’ve seen it all.
I’ve worked with some of the industry’s heaviest hitters in my career. Starting as a barista at one of Intelligentsia’s first cafes. Now, 20 years later, I have seen what success looks like through so many lenses, and am ready to help take your project to new heights.
As an integrator, I can help you turn thoughts into action and procedure. From SOPs, training manuals, Go To Market plans, or software integrations, I am equipped to bring your organization the structure you want.
I have extensive experience in the coffee industry, particularly in sourcing, quality control, and roasting. I have worked with many coffee producers, emphasizing sustainable practices and direct trade relationships. My background includes roles in quality assessment, roasting, and education about coffee. Additionally, I have been involved in initiatives aimed at improving the livelihoods of coffee farmers and promoting environmental sustainability. My expertise helps bridge the gap between producers and consumers, fostering a deeper appreciation for specialty coffee.
I’ve opened three cafes of my own and been rewarded with write-ups in Dwell Magazine, Food and Wine, and others.
