About Me:: I have had ADD my entire life. In addition to coffee, ADD has helped me fit various interests into a 24 hour period. In addition to my coffee business, I have owned a custom surfboard and surfwear company, raced Singlespeed, cyclocross and road bikes for Gianni Cyclery.

Was arrested in the 6th grade by the FBI for Extortion and Blackmail. I have used the same Zassenhaus grinder every morning for over 25 years. I walked the entire circumference of Tasmania in 2000. I still don't remember why I decided to do that.
