About Me:: I live in Portland Oregon where I am the director of training at the American Barista & Coffee School. I also am the consulting director for Bellissimo Coffee InfoGroup. I spend most of my time training new and existing business owners how to open and operate successful retail coffee businesses. In my spare time you might find me having coffee or sipping a pint at one of Portlands great coffee shops or brew pubs. I spend lots of time also with my beautiful wife and little wiener dog.

Professionally I have been in this industry for almost 15 years and have worked as a barista, manager, trainer and consultant. I speak at Coffee Fest and SCAA Tradeshows and sit on the SCAA Training Committee as a lead espresso trainer and was on the USBC Committee 2007/08. I have been certified as a judge for the NWRBC/USBC and have placed 3rd recently in the MillRock Latte Art Competition. I am also on the Cup of Excellence "Barista Committee" and support the Alliance of Coffee Excellence with information related to specialty coffee from a barista perspective. I have written articles for Barista Magazine, Fresh Cup Magazine, Specialty Coffee Retailer and the SCAA Chronicle and have been quoted in many magazines and newspapers in regards to specialty coffee and retail coffee business.

About My Company:: The American Barista & Coffee School [ABC's] is the first and only professional school in the U.S. devoted to domestic and international specialty coffee business education and hands-on barista training. No other coffee school can match the scope of ABC's educational and retail success-building curriculum.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?: teaching people about how amazing coffee is, and seeing them fall in love.
