Please tell us a little about yourself:
I have been working in the coffee industry for ten years as a Barista, Coffee Trainer, Coffee Roaster, and Café Manager. However, my love for coffee began long before that. As a child, I used to visit coffee farms with my grandparents, and that’s where my connection with coffee truly started. For me, there’s nothing better than starting the day with a great cup of coffee. Filter coffee is my favorite because it brings out the best flavors. Coffee isn’t just my job; it’s my passion!
What are you excited to do while you are in Geneva?
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet all the competitors and learn as much as I can from each of them. I look forward to creating memorable moments as we share a delicious cup of coffee.
What are your interests outside of coffee?
Playing Football and shearing time with my family and friends.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank?
I would like to thanks my Wife Sonia who is the only person in the world that have been on my side since I start my journey in the coffee industry. I like to thanks my Australian family for all their support, thanks to my team in Colombia specially to Javier and also I like to thanks Karen from South American Bean and all the people who helped me to prepare my presentations for the WCC.
