Roasted Ott was born because I like my coffee very fresh. I began roasting my own coffee in 2004 after I couldn't find good quality, fresh coffee at the grocery store. Within a few years, I had a following of loyal coffee drinkers, many of whom were the firefighters I worked with at Mesa Fire & Medical. In 2007 I began roasting on a Diedrich 3kg roaster that’s manually operated with gas and air valves. No computerized or automated roasting profiles here, just lots of trial and error, and recording all of the details of every roast on paper.

In 2019 I began to realize it was time for a bigger roaster that could be monitored digitally.  So, I looked long and hard for a suitable replacement.  In May I found the one, a 5 kg Diedrich IR5 that was being used by a commercial roaster in Chicago.  Dan, my BFF and better half, took a road trip with his other BFF, Dave, to Chicago, and brought it home.  Although I still don’t have a programmable automated roast system, I can keep track of all of my roasts digitally with a roast curve that is created by all of my inputs and the temperature probes.  I still have to be present to make all of the adjustments and add input as the roast progresses, but no paper.

Over the years, I have developed many profiles for all different coffees.  Most of my coffees are roasted a bit slower and longer than they would be using other roasters, yet not as dark.  This preserves the inherent flavors of each region without burning the sugars and imparting a smoky, burned, charcoal taste.  My roasting results is a cup of coffee that is smoother, less astringent, and full of flavor.

As a SCAA licensed Q Grader  through the Coffee Quality Institute, I understand the great impact that the roast has on the quality and flavor of the coffee in the cup.

As Executive Director, my duties vary on a day to day basis from advancing the organization’s mission by working with community stakeholders, building strong programs, and presenting to school classes and civic organizations, to transplanting Schoenoplectus acutus in local wetlands, catching lizards, photographing wildflowers, and digging up previously planted cottonwoods to assess root development. The variety of experiences and the diversity of people I encounter are treats for me. The learning curve stays steep and I like that – usually. Because of my work at Prescott Creeks, I often find myself looking for the rivers and streams in other communities that I visit. 

When asked why I am involved with the creeks, the challenge is to pick a single reason. There are many. I grew up in the Midwestern suburbia and the nearest creek was a little trickle that emerged from a pipe in the local park. That muddy little excuse of a stream (I now know is called Turkey Run) captivated my attention in ways that I still can’t explain. Water, bugs, toads, box turtles, and boxelders pulled me in like no other place. In my work, I’ve had the opportunity to personally experience, and observe this sense of wonder in kids, and college students, adults and even in seniors. My involvement with Prescott Creeks is about making our community a better place for those of us who are here now, those who will visit soon, and for those who will follow behind us. And, secretly, selfishly, I get paid to splash around in the creeks.

In 1970, The Cosanti Foundation began building Arcosanti, an experimental town in the high desert of Arizona, 70 miles north of metropolitan Phoenix. An ambitious project envisioned as an experiment in living frugally and with a limited environmental footprint, Arcosanti is an attempt at a prototype arcology, integrating the design of architecture with respect to ecology. Based on a set of four core values that include Frugality and Resourcefulness, Ecological Accountability, Experiential Learning, and Leaving a Limited Footprint. The Cosanti Foundation operates Arcosanti as a counterpoint to mass consumerism, urban sprawl, unchecked consumption of natural resources, and social isolation.

The iconic structures at Arcosanti are designed to be multi-use to extend their utility and usefulness in facilitating the many performances, workshops, and cultural programming that happen year in and year out. Throughout its 50-year history, thousands of volunteers have participated in constructing Arcosanti through intensive six-week-long workshops where they learned by doing and developed a uniquely specialized set of skills. Close to 8,000 people have given their time and talents by taking part in building Arcosanti.
