About Me:

I have had many roles in the coffee industry all centered around coffee roasting. From barista to coffee shop manager. I've done quite a bit of roasting, but that is not my specialty. Currently I am the president of a regional coffee roaster in the Pacific Northwest.

About My Company:

Fidalgo Bay Coffee Roasters started in 1992 as a retailer/roaster in Anacortes, WA. From there our wholesale side grew more than retail. We are now focused on only wholesale providing excellent coffee to restaurants, hotels & espresso bars and drive-thrus.
