CURRENT MISSION

To make time.

ABOUT ME

I drink entirely too much coffee, and lucky for me its in no short demand in Portland. I spend my time making coffee, mainly french press, slingin' espresso -my favorite drink is Americanos, and serving up some yummy drinks with a little bit of latte art creativity. After I get hyped on espresso I enjoy hooping. If you hula hoop and you wanna stay with me there will most definitely be a hoop session in order. I enjoy seeing live music typically of the jam, electronic, dj, and occassionally bluegrass variety.

PHILOSOPHY

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning to "Let Go"...

Traveling and couchsurfing has taught me so many important lessons. That is the glory of surrounding yourself by "random" people with different experiences and outlooks on life, you are bound to learn something.
