Hi, I’m Jen—coffee roaster, business builder, and the one behind the scenes at Gigawatt.
What started as a husband-and-wife passion project has become a full-blown small business, and I’ve learned it all along the way—from accounting and marketing to packing orders and fixing the website at midnight. I’m not a big corporation. Just someone who cares deeply about good coffee and the people who drink it. Thanks for being here—it means more than you know.
