Dave Meneses started working in coffee at a small roaster/shop called Newport Coffee House while he was getting his education degree in Deerfield, IL. After graduating he tried several different careers such as working at a middle school, doing professional fund raising and even did some grad school before coming back to coffee. He has been lucky to have worked at several great coffee companies and learned a lot from many different people along the way. Dave is currently the Senior Lead at Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Chicago.
