Name your favorite food(s)

I enjoy most cookies but I’m inclined to choose Tim-Tams as my favorite.

When did you join Plain Values?

I’ve been serving this team since 2018.

What magazine do you most often browse/read?

I have always bean particular to Roast Magazine.

How do you spend your spare time?

I like staying up late. I like rising early. I like steaming up a pair of clean glasses on a cold day. I love Tim-Tam-Team-Time.

List three bucket list items.

To brew a cup of the most expensive and most extravagant coffee in the world–Kopi luwak
To visit the ancient coffee forests on the Ethiopian plateau. There, legend says the goat herder Kaldi first discovered the potential of these beloved beans.
To brew a cup of coffee for someone famous. Perhaps an award winning musical artist or a best-selling author. Or both…

Name your favorite food(s)

Chicken bacon ranch pizza is definitely in the top spot. I do, however, enjoy any pizza (except plain cheese—blah).

When did you join Plain Values?

I began working part-time for Plain Values in May of 2016 and switched to full-time work in January of 2017.

What magazine do you most often browse/read?

More appropriately, “What magazine covers do you most often glance at?” I rarely browse magazines, but when I do, it’s probably Quality Whitetails, or the local newspaper (Does that count?).

How do you spend your spare time?

My current largest spare-time endeavor is producing a cappella music on YouTube (Just search Seth Yoder). Did I just… Was that a plug? Huh. Oh well. A close second is roundnet (a.k.a. spikeball). Spending an evening with family is also high on my list of enjoyed activities, as is deer hunting.

List three bucket list items.

I’ve never created a bucket list, so maybe that should be my first bucket list item:

Create a bucket list
Visit the Holy Lands
Reach 100,000 subscribers on YouTube
And number four, since the first item was kinda lame: Collaborate with a famous musician.

My current top 3 are…

Write a children’s book.
