About Me

I am faster than the average turtle. I drink a lot of fair trade coffee on a regular basis. Minneapolis and St. Paul are my favorite cities. I like biking on my fixed gear bike through the Twin Cities. I enjoy traveling on a yearly basis. I once crawled to the top of the largest volcano in Central America. I've also crawled around Colombia, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Sumatra, Dominican Republic, and Mexico. For more personal details check out my website: www.peacecoffee.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bicyclers, fair traders, peace-makers, coffee fanatics, roasters, farmers, musicians, dancers, artists, gardeners, bee keepers, lovers not haters.
