There are only pictures of him pouring cappuccinos. There is simply no evidence he exists otherwise.

What do you do?
Barista/Morning Supervisor @ New Harvest Coffee and Spirits
Tell us something
interesting/funny about yourself:
I am a practicing sculptor and a pretty decent shot with a
bow and arrow. I enjoy long walks on the beach especially when there are
weird bones that wash up on the shore.
When did you
first get into coffee?
I first got into coffee through The Greenleaf Coffee Co-op
at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC. In addition to being a
horizontally run business full of passionate, rad people, the
Greenleaf was my first exposure to coffee on an artisan level, as well as
concepts like Fair and Direct Trade.
What is the
single most significant moment in your coffee life thus far?
Its a dead heat between my first cup of shade
grown Ethiopia (blew my mind) and when I went to Siena, Italy and
realized that, at least in northern Italy, the espresso is rubbish.
Since working at
New Harvest what has changed about your outlook on coffee?
I've definitely experienced a huge growth-spurt in terms of
coffee knowledge since coming here, and my desire to further my own coffee
education both on and off the clock is given a substantial boost by my
coworkers and our clientele. Since coming on board, I've been more freely
able to immerse myself in both the culinary and the cultural celebration
of coffee.
Favorite coffee
at the moment?
