Our Team

If you walk in to our Raleigh, NC headquarters and roasting facility, after being struck by the incredibly delicious smell of fresh roasted coffee, you will find of team of dedicated, hardworking and passionate professionals, all unified around a common goal of delivering an amazing product to our customers. From the customer service folks, to the sales team, to the roasters and guys “in the back” fulfilling orders, to the quality control team, packaging and logistics, to our financial folks and front office, each bag that leaves the building, stamped with the “Dilworth” logo, is actually being stamped with our collective stamp of approval.

And while each order contains the collective effort of a small army, here’s our leadership team:

JEFF VOJTA

OUR STORE MANAGER
Jeff is a bean counter, spending much of his career as an accountant, traveling the globe, pouring over spreadsheets, counting beans - you know accounting stuff. So, it is fitting that when making the jump to entrepreneurship, he followed his passion - beans. Although instead of just counting them, he got to roast them as well. You see, in his travels, Jeff developed a true appreciation for a great cup of coffee, and he realized that different folks around the world have their own very individual taste preference for the type of coffee, roast level and flavor. And his passion was born…providing great coffee, to be enjoyed however customers see fit.

At Dilworth, Jeff get’s to combine his passion for coffee, his accounting prowess, and his own experience as an entrepreneur to lead the team and help customers and coffee shops be successful in both running a business and serving the best cup of coffee on the planet.

OUR “SWISS ARMY KNIFE”

Literally fueled daily by coffee, Cliff builds the processes necessary to run Dilworth - quality control, purchasing, inventory management, technology, order fulfillment, staffing, etc. Some call him our Chief Operating Officer, but we call him our go-to-guy when it comes to making things “go.”

BRAD KIRBY

Mr. Koffee
The baron of beverages, the royalty of roasting, the sultan of sourcing, the king of coffee… whatever you call him, Brad is the guy who turns the finest coffee beans into Dilworth Coffee. For more than 20 years, Brad has been refining his craft, traveling the world, establishing relationships with farmers, sourcing the best beans available, and roasting them to levels that highlight each coffee’s best attributes. He’s a guy with whom you want to share a cup of coffee (or any beverage) and talk shop (or anything for that matter).

Taylor Pritchard

COFFEE GURU
This guy has coffee in his veins. Prior to Dilworth, Taylor spent ten years working in coffee shops. He knows all there is to know about recipes, equipment, menu design, and anything else to create the ideal beverage. Taylor has been our head roaster for over three years ensuring that each bean is roasted to perfection. He’s like our Barista Yoda, and the guy everyone turns to around 3:00 when it’s coffee break time.

PETER FLOYD

FRONT COUNTER SALES
For nineteen years, Peter has been on the front line selling coffee. And whether setting up coffee shops in hospitals and offices, encouraging retail coffee shops to join the Dilworth family, representing the brand at trade functions, or passing out samples to trick-or-treaters at Halloween, he is ALWAYS looking for opportunities to enhance the Dilworth Coffee brand and product availability. He probably has a trunk full of coffee right this minute, in-case he runs across a coffee shop in-need.

He knows the ins and outs of what it takes to operate a successful coffee shop and does it all with an accent that you can't quite place.
