How did you get your start in coffee/tea?
My first job out of college was a sales/roaster position for a local coffee roaster…that was 2005 and I wouldn’t entertain working in any other industry

Favorite thing about the industry?
100% the people. Coffee folks are great and I feel privileged to work with coffee professionals from the entire supply chain, origin to consumer.

If you had control of RNY radio for the day (…without risk of any criticism/comments) what would you choose?
I can’t imagine a world where I could control the radio at Royal and NOT be judged but if our team of music critics/coffee pros did turn over the reins, we would listen to A Tribe Called Quest radio….loud
