About Me:: I grew up in coffee...it chose me and I surrendered.

I did menu and project developement for It's A Grind Coffee House in Long Beach, CA, and now I work for Gourmet Source. Life is good when your coffee is good!

At 5:06pm on January 9th, 2008, Ben Gleeson said…: Hey Heather.. it's good to hear that there's some good things happening - even if it's just a few of you. I consider myself to pretty lucky when it comes to our Aussie scene, I'm just up the road from Sydney, - which has some great things happening and the central coast is starting to catch on - slowly. I'm glad to be associated with the whole thing - most people in the scene are great - it's like having one big extended family. You should come down when you can - I'm sure I could keep you pretty busy down here! Have a great day ; )
