ABOUT LOST SHOE

Co-Founder/Roaster/Finance & Business Operations

Favorite Lost Shoe Brew:  As a roaster I love sourcing coffees from origins all over the world to present a coffee lineup that is full of diverse flavor profiles. I am particularly fond of fruity Ethiopian coffees, they are what got me into specialty coffee years ago and are my go to when educating consumers that not all coffees taste the same! I also really enjoy a nice crisp Bier, our Kölsch-style ale. It reminds me of our travels to Germany and the amazing beer culture we experienced there. 

Favorite part of working at Lost Shoe:  Community has been the focus of Lost Shoe since it was just an idea on paper. Being able to create a space to bring our community together has been so fulfilling and we wouldn’t be able to carry out this dream without our amazing team!

Favorite Lost Shoe Brew: I am a cold brew fanboy and I have tried many different cold brews in the past, but the Lost Shoe's stands tall amongst others. And the icing on top of that is the cold brew is a great foundation for other drinks to mix up different bodies of flavors you can have a lot of fun with especially making them.

P.S. Eastwitch and its alcohol content - 6.66%. Hell yeah. That's a favorite for sure. Rim or no rim, that's one for the books. 

Favorite part of working at Lost Shoe: It goes without saying but feeling accepted amongst my peers is awesome and very hard to find. The leadership provides clear and concise information. Everyone is very appreciative of feedback and continues to strive for a happy working environment. It doesn't matter who or what your background is, we're all just a bunch of fun people who enjoy working in this type of industry and it feels great to be a part of something you care about. 

Favorite thing to do outside of work: Besides going to Four Year Strong Concerts and breaking my foot, you will find me going on lots of adventures and hikes with dogs. Nothing beats a sunrise hike with a cup of joe on the peak of a mountain with your furry companions.
