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.
