About My Company:
I am a sole proprietor that travels the world helping the little guy or the corporate giant to manage their company better.

I love start-ups and assisting people to fulfill their dreams to bring their concept to life.

I also run a small artisan chocolate company called Barque Chocolate with handmade Belgium chocolate. www.barquechocolate.com The bars are studded with nuts and fruits in a square shape in a clear package. No excess packaging. I thought coffee bars were in need of something special so I developed this line with a Cordon Bleu chef in Beverly Hills.

How a love for coffee brings people together.

Frankly, my cure for a stressful day is to make espresso for few hours. Just watching crema fall into the cups relaxes me!
