Get To Know Mark!

Mark Inman entered the coffee industry in 1998 based on a passion for remarkable coffee and the belief that businesses can be environmentally and socially progressive while remaining profitable.

His tireless campaign to improve environmental and social conditions in the coffee industry, as well as voicing his support for the small farmer movement, has taken him from local classrooms in the United States to remote coffee laboratories in the hills of Nicaragua and from Washington D.C. to the floor of the United Nations. His efforts have been covered in local and nationwide publications, including TIME Magazine, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
