I must say i have enjoyed my time working as the Technology Coordinator at Calvary Church, but i am excited to be following my dreams and moving on to a full time postition as Chief Roaster at One Village Coffee. Honestly it is a bit scary in a few ways. We are still a small startup company, so there is that risk, but it is also a motivation, how can i help OVC become the company we all believe it can be, how can i be a part of making us profitable and therefor a successful business. There is also the part where i am losing Salary and some benfits we are used to, i have a family and they are so important so i want to do right by them, so i need to buckle down  and be wise with what God has provided for us with, but also i believe that this move will provide us with a better quality of life. I will be persuing my dreams, working where i really want to be, not that i dont love my current job, it just isn’t may passion any more. I will be home more+ nights now that i wont be roasting an night time, so i should have more time with my family, my kids are growing up quick and impressionable, i want to be there to help be a part of who they are and who they become. I am excited to be a part of a company that i believe in what we are doing as making a positive global and local impact for the good. I am looking forward to the complexity of learning how to work in this new enviornment full time. I am looking forward to getting deeper in my relationships with those i work with and how they can affect me and help me be the better person for it. I am looking forward to being in the coffee industry full time, learning from others and sharing knowledge amoung the community. I look forward to being in coffeehouses more, cupping more, making new blends, new aquisitions, and honing my skills. I know it wont be all sunshine and roases, but i also know it is an amazing oppurtunity, and i feel blessed to be able to do this and overwhlemed by God’s grace at the same time. Thank you God, thank you Scott, Aaron, Rob, Steve, Lois, Andrea, Kylie, Sarah, Michael, Melissa, Corrine and all who have been a part of making OVC what it is today and what it will become. Thank you Patty, Kaleigh and Julian for believeing in  me. I love you all and look forward to what is ahead, and look back with gratitude on what has come before.
