I entered coffee by accident, and stayed because of the people.

My coffee life began on a café floor and grew through every layer of the craft — wholesale support, sample roasting, production roasting, quality control, calibration, green coffee selection, and finally the slow art of building relationships with farmers, exporters, and producers around the world.

Today I work where origin meets industry: sourcing thoughtfully, roasting with intention, and helping people connect across the supply chain. I care about clarity in the cup, honesty in the label, and dignity in the trade.

I write about what I see — the drying beds, the sample table, the supplier conversations that never make it onto a bag — because coffee, properly told, is one of the most human stories we have.
