Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I am currently working at Hotwire Online Coffeehouse in Shoreline as the Assistant Manager. I can offer my humble knowledge on coffee quality, coffee presentation, and customer service (reading what the customer needs from the barista).

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

As many as I can afford to! I have a heavy schedule, but I will try to go anywhere I can.

About Me:

I started making espresso at Hotwire in June 2007. My focus has and always will be providing the customer with the best possible product at all times. I believe gaining more buisness in your coffeeshop is directly related to the quality of their overall expierence. Treat every cup of coffee like its your one chance to win them over for a lifetime.
Away from coffee, I always enjoy a good time. Being it a night at the ballpark or a small get together with friends, mixing fun into my life provides me the strength to continue with the routine.

About My Company:

Hotwire is a coffeehouse on the rise. Coffee quality is getting better every day. We combine quality beans (Borogove) with determined baristas.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

The people
