Before working at nbkc, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?
Before getting my start in mortgage I was the head coffee buyer and roaster for a large regional coffee roaster in the Midwest – working with coffee farmers, importing raw coffee, developing roasting recipes and making sure the coffee came out tasting delicious. It was a fun and fascinating job!
