How does one become a coffee roaster/production manager for one of the most prominent coffee shops in Houston? Well first you might have to spend a year at A&M, then maybe a few more years working 12 hour days in oil refineries, maybe you have to go through a "Kanye" phase, and work for free to perfect your craft. Victor Galaviz knows plenty about doing  all these things I mean hell its his story. From working in the kitchen at Slowpokes to working for free making coffee at the Tipping Point Victor has pretty much done and seen it all, and the more you think about it all that he went through pushed him into his destiny.
