Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I am now an assistant manager and working full-time on the floor (and enjoying nearly every minute!).

As of about 2 years ago, I started training new baristi for Midwest Barista School.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

I would travel nearly anywhere if I knew someone else was going with.

About Me:

I am an assistant manager / barista / trainer, and I am working full-time at JP's. I enjoy nearly every minute of it!

I recently acquired my Masters of Divinity and still find no better place, no better work, and no better community than the coffee shop. So, I'm going to try to make a career out of this if at all possible.

About My Company:

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?
