that's all

and you know this year we are celebrating 20 years in the coffee business so it's like god it's been so good to us to sustain us for this long uh it was december 8th of 2006 i had just finished um a two-year commitment to go and help plant a church out in the Proctor District of Tacoma.

So I wore many hats.

My senior pastor had me as the worship pastor, the youth pastor, the IT guy, the media guy.

I was his assistant, everything.

It was amazing because I learned in that season how to manage multiple things, how to think very entrepreneurially.

And little did I know that it would eventually serve me so well in launching our family business, which would not even exist had my parents not taken an enormous risk, leveraged their house, got a loan from the bank in an effort to start this little brick and mortar coffee shop on the corner here in Puyallup.

What, what are some things that you, you know, had the biggest impact, your skills that you had the biggest impact on not only your life, but your businesses.
