As the Director of Coffee and Operations at Swing's Coffee, I oversee the quality of green and roasted coffee, as well as the purchasing, roasting, production, and operations of our company. I have more than 24 years of experience in the coffee industry, and I am a licensed Q Grader, a certified Lead Instructor, and a regional and national Brewers Cup Judge.I aim to be fully engaged and knowledgeable with the entire coffee supply chain, from the farmers and producers to the consumers and retailers. I enjoy creating standards, operating efficiently and effectively, administering education, and watching "students" thrive and grow in their positions. I also enjoy games with my 4-year-old, caring for our loving dog, and sitting zazen every day.
