Collaborators

In any creative project, it is wise to collaborate. No one has a lock on the truth or the full set of giftedness that produces the best result. We are designed to work together to accomplish things. Therefore, I am working with a tiny group of individuals who bring true expertise and wisdom to the Roaster Project.

Lewis Berman

Lewis is a technical genius with a broad knowledge of things scientific and industrial. He has deep experience in radiology, control systems, avionics, structures, machining, finishes and manufacturing. He is helping me as a sounding board for ideas and to critique my designs. I also plan on having him help me source out the subcontracts for fabrication of components.

Jason Silberschlag

Jason is the owner of Cartel Coffee Lab in Tempe, AZ. He has an uncompromising view of coffee selection, roasting and preparation. Jason roasts coffee on a San Franciscan coffee roaster and is always tinkering with how to make the roasting process better. He recently opened a second location in Phoenix.

Chanelle Richardson

Chanelle is a talented local artist. Her photography is highly respected and I particularly love her composition and the feel of her work. Chanelle’s focus on quality, uniqueness, and craftsmanship mesh well with the principles of the Roaster Project. She has agreed to be the photojournalist the project, chronicling the progress of the work. Chanelle is also an avid cook and blogger.
