<h3>About Me:</h3> <p>I am a 23 year&nbsp;old with a desire to own and operate a coffee shop with my speciality coffee drinks and gourmet appetizers.&nbsp;I am goal oriented and energetic with a passion for coffee and people.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a strong background in coffee as a barista for a well known coffee chain in Washington for four years.&nbsp; I have taken coffee seminars and courses with a first class&nbsp;Northwest coffee roaster.&nbsp;&nbsp;We covered every aspect of the coffee process from the bean to&nbsp;the roating process.&nbsp; New brewing&nbsp;techniques&nbsp;were introduced as well as new cutting edge drinks.&nbsp;&nbsp;The broad drinkline in&nbsp;Seattle&nbsp;will be new and innovative&nbsp;to California.&nbsp; There will be very little competition since they currently do not offer many of the options we&nbsp;wil.&nbsp;</p> <p>The annual "coffece Fest" seminars and workshops&nbsp;are an industry must.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is a&nbsp;three day workshop in Seattle that introduces new coffee trends and product.&nbsp; Venders, roasters, and store owners come&nbsp;facilitate workshops and a product fair.&nbsp; Everything from coffee art to&nbsp;leases and build out costs are covered.</p> <p>I&nbsp;am excited to create a business serving the&nbsp;beverages and appetizers Seattle is known for.&nbsp;&nbsp;My family and I moved to&nbsp;California to start a new life and business venture.&nbsp; We all have a passion for people and are ready to engage a new community and call it home.&nbsp; After&nbsp;the economic decline&nbsp;in the real estate &amp; construction industry,&nbsp;our&nbsp;loss of income had a&nbsp;devasting effect on our family.&nbsp;&nbsp;We eventually lost&nbsp;our home and decided&nbsp;it was time to re-invent ourselves.&nbsp; We pulled together as a family and asked God "&nbsp;where do we start"&nbsp;&nbsp;We had talked about starting a coffee shop, but the market was so&nbsp;saturated in the Northwest.&nbsp; Where God was closing doors in Washington, new ones are opening in California, we felt it was time for a change.</p> <p>Our strong background in church and community will keep us engaged in local events&nbsp;and activities.&nbsp; We have a long history in Girl Scouts volunteering and created one of the larger summer camps for kids.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are excited to connect with our new community and sponser youth&nbsp;in teams an&nbsp;activities.&nbsp;</p> <p>Our vision is to create&nbsp;speciality drinks in a fun, inviting&nbsp;coffeehouse.&nbsp; Our desire is to restore our&nbsp;family dream:&nbsp;&nbsp;To make a good living, give back to the community, and create new relationships&nbsp;with local residents and&nbsp;college students.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank You.</p>
