What’s something most people don’t know about you?

D: I’m not actually as grumpy as people think I look, I just don’t feel like talking.

D: French toast with heavy cream and rum in the batter, rum-infused whipped cream, a stack of bacon and a fukton of maple syrup, kbs maple stout on the side and a gallon of water #hydrohomies

What’s it like working with Quarter Life Coffee?

D: I have better control over creative outlets and being able to express myself, and everyone I meet is always an inspiration for new ideas. Like, I could just be chilling with someone and they’d be like “wouldn’t it be crazy if we did this and this”. I don’t have the added pressure to innovate, it happens naturally.

Byron: Also, Byron is a CB

D: Yeah, don’t write that down.
