Joseph Jenkins
// executive director, LEAD EDUCATOr
As a data geek, spreadsheet enthusiast, and avid note-taker, it's clear why Joseph would be our lead educator and owner.
Joseph’s coffee journey began when his grandmother purchased him a Chemex for Christmas. Little did he realize that this singular gift would be the beginning of a lifelong passion.
Joseph is the host of the Sustain Coffee Podcast, CART! A podcast about coffee and related topics. Be sure to get subscribed and involved in the show.

Better together.
We consider it true that most things in life are far superior when done when linked arms with like-minded people.
Raegan Jenkins // EVENT COORDINATOR, SOCIAL MEDIA
Raegan keeps us all organized! If you see us doing a cool event, it’s likely that it was largely because of her ideas. Don’t be fooled, Raegan is keen to crack jokes at every opportunity.
We definitely would not be the same team without her!
Apart from helping the Sustain crew stay organized, Raegan is a Developmental Therapist and loves working with kids. She’s also a pretty talented musician - stay tuned for her upcoming LP!
Calvin Alley // DESIGN AND BRANDING
As someone who is skilled in drawing stylized cartoons, Calvin was the perfect addition to our team.
Apart from design work, Calvin also has a killer taste in music, and might as well be considered our DJ around here.
Calvin is an up and coming freelance illustrator. You can check out his own design work HERE.

Dante Baker // secretary, lead barista
After coming to nearly every monthly workshop for a year, it was inevitable that Dante would be a part of our team. It has been a running joke (but at this point, it is no joke) that Dante can consistently make the best pour-over out of any of us.
His benevolence and gentle nature inspire us! Dante is also sure to slide some clever humor into his coffee brewing.
Dante works in the food service industry and has a heart for hospitality.

Chloe is a Memphis based photographer, basketball lover, and has quite the impressive sneaker collection.
