CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and leave an impact.

ABOUT ME

I'm in love with coffee and the culture it creates. I believe in the power of community, authenticity, and honesty. Much of my time is spent participating in or creating that space. Standing ovations make me tear up every time - something about the unity of it all.

PHILOSOPHY

"To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with my God." -Micah 6

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 4 months with 100 orphans in Uganda. I've never felt like life was more simple or real and I've never felt love more authentically than with those children.
