20 YEARS?! Jon was a mere babe of 21 when he first started working with us. And of our 30 years roasting, he and his unique blend of curiosity, intelligence, kindness and wry humor have been with us for 20 of them, as of last month -- and we couldn't feel luckier or more grateful. His musings on this momentous personal/professional milestone:
"Over the last 20 years I’ve packed, delivered, roasted, cupped, brewed, sourced and sold a lot of coffee! I’ve worked with some especially rad folks all across the supply chain. Producers, importers, warehouse/logistic wizards, truck drivers, delivery drivers, equipment suppliers, machine manufacturers, repair companies, wholesale customers of all types, website/retail customers and nerdy home coffee drinkers. What started as a job to pay the rent and fund my burrito addiction turned into a career that I love. Thankful for everyone I’ve met along the way and I’m looking forward to many more years doing what I love. Thank you Columbia River Coffee Roaster for the opportunity to do what I do over all these years. โ๏ธ"
We love you, man.
