About Me:

I've worked at several cafes since I was 17, the longest being City Dock Coffee in Annapolis, Maryland (when Steve and Kerry owned it). I've participated in a few latte art competitions at Coffee Fest in DC. I go to as many indie cafes as I can and am always interested in learning about new barista techniques. Someday, I hope to learn a little more about roasting.

About My Company:

I work for Lavazza at one of the four Lavazza Blue cafes in the United States.
