About Me:

I like cooperatizing things, building things, writing things, coffee, books, and people (well some of them are all right anyway).

About My Company:

Alchemy Collective, Our Worker-Owned (cooperative) cafe, started as a pourover table at a farmer's market. We 3 broke-ass baristas grew that table into an espresso cart, then a little kiosk in a hole in the wall, to a regular sized cafe, and now we are roasting our own coffee and moving into the wholesale game. We are currently 8 worker-owners strong. Roasting, brewing, creating community, and making decisions via democratic process.
