Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.

I work at Phoenix Coffee, specifically the cafe on Lee.
We roast our own coffee, lighter than most so you can really taste the bean.
We pull espresso on a manual machine.

Another facet of our cafe is the loose leaf teas. We have all the classic blacks, essential greens, exotic whites, and even a few tisanes.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

Japan, Germany, England

About Me:

Outside of coffee and tea, I'm primarily interested in art. To be specific the history of art, and how creating my own, history that is. I also do a radio show called An Evening on Karl Johan Street where I play a variety of things. Usually I try to bridge old genres with new bands working in a the same style. My show has become a bit of music art history.

About My Company:

Phoenix Coffee is the premier coffee company in Cleveland. Not only do carry top quality products but Phoenix as a company embodies forward thinking social values. The coffee industry is unique is that we import an international product to a small neighborhood. Understanding that duality leads to a nuanced world view and how to live sustainibly in this modern life.

What is your favorite thing about the coffee industry?

The amazing personal connections I've through talking about beans.
