What do you love most about your job?
I get to work with some of the best humans in the world, and when a young person chooses to point their life towards Jesus... that is simply the best.

What are your favorites hobbies?
I like to rebuild things that are broken, I love the outdoors, and exploring the process of a coffee bean getting from the side of a volcanic mountain to the cup on my desk is so intriguing.

Favorite food?
This is impossible to answer... I LOVE FOOD... the best way for me to answer this is that I would love to explore the food truck scene in Portland, eat a hotdog from a stand in Times Square, down a Philly in Philly from a food cart, and watch a sunset over a pile of shrimp in New Orleans. Food is about relationship and experience.

Favorite drink?
A naturally processed Ethiopian coffee from the Guji region. 10g of medium to finely ground coffee in an Aeropress, add 30g of boiling water to bloom for 1 minute, add 130g of boiling water, at 2 minutes swirl the slurry, at 2:30 press slowly until all the contents have been pressed out. Allow to stand for approximately 10 minutes, then enjoy. (The is the Pfunk method)

What's one fun/interesting fact about you?
Contrary to popular belief, I can go days without showering and still not have stinky pits.
