I am with Coffee Bean International. A long time Portland, OR roaster.
I have attended various classes at the ABC School and Matt recommended I join this site. After logging on it is nice to read the blogs and get updates from everyone's perspective!

About Me:

I have been with Coffee Bean International for nine years. During that time I have worked within our group of coffeehouse customers. Helping provide our customers with coffee, learning from Paul Thornton our roastmaster and Bruce Mullins our VP of Product, all about where coffee begins, what makes it good and then through the cafes, gain insight on how to present the perfect cup. Now as Director of Regional Markets I am working to stay current on new trends in the industry and continuing to provide quality product and good a good customer experience for our accounts.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

Coffee and all the amazing ways it can be presented in the cup!
