About me:
..I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6!
Rocky Rhodes, founder of Rocky Roaster, was born in Seattle, Washington where he was raised drinking great coffee. In 1991, his career brought him to the Los Angeles area. That was when everything started to change. You see, there was no good coffee in Los Angeles in 1991; at least none that he could find. In 1996 Rocky found a book on coffee called “The Perfect Cup”, by Timothy Castle. He discovered that coffee could be roasted at home for personal consumption. All you need are some green beans and a desire for fresh coffee. He had the desire and the book mentioned a little local roaster in Sherman Oaks, called The Coffee Roaster where one could purchase green beans. Once befriended by Dick Healy, owner of the The Coffee Roaster, he began to apprentice on Saturday mornings in the art of roasting. Soon he found himself selling coffee to friends and family. The computer firm he worked for became his first office coffee account. He finally decided to get serious with this hobby and opened a stand at two Farmers Markets on the weekend. This went extremely well, and within three months the hobby had turned into a viable business. Rocky Left his computer career to further his coffee business in 1997. In order to maintain growth, Rocky built his current roasting facility in Canoga Park in 1999. At this point he added another facet to the business by opening a retail shop at the same location.
