Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I was trained as a barista at a great coffee shop in Jackson Hole, Wyoming called Pearl Street Bagels. I've managed two other coffee shops, and was offered a weekend manager position before I left Jackson Hole. I'm always continuing my learning about espresso. I work now as a barista/Manager/trainer at NOVO coffee in Denver
This summer I had the opportunity to ride my bicycle across the US, from CA to MD, to raise money and awareness for clean water efforts in Africa. If you'd like to see more about the trip, or would like to sponsor me, go to www.ridewelltour.com.

Anywhere in the US, anywhere in Europe. I would love to travel to Norway or Italy or Hawaii, Portland, Seattle, really any place that's in an interesting area.

About Me:

When I'm not at the coffee shop, I'm probably either playing music or soccer...or sitting in a coffee shop reading or talking, or studying the Bible. That's pretty much my life.

About My Company:

NOVO is about as good as a piece of chocolate cake after a 40-day fast. good.
