Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

My first barista position was in 1994 and David Schomer flew in to train our staff for a whole week. This experience and my own passion for the culinary arts has allowed me to now train other Baristas through our business Dolce Neve Inc. I've also enjoyed being a Sensory Judge during the 2006 WRBC as well as Co-Host the event for the past three years.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Any if the correct situation arises. We are looking forward to a trip to Nicaragua in February of 2008
