Description
I am a coffee industry professional who has about 20 years of experience with several steps throughout the coffee supply chain, from coffee farm operations to owning a coffee roasting company . I love to travel and have had the opportunity to go to many countries as a professional coffee buyer. At this time in my life, I would like to explore areas beyond coffee! I love participating in sustainable agriculture, tourism, community building, and sharing experiences. Currently I am developing my skills as a coffee equipment technician and service espresso machines, coffee brewers, and other related machines. I have some basic knowledge of plumbing & electrical.
