At TOTEMIC, we champion a blend of start-up innovation and storied industry experience. We have the full wardrobe, we know how to adapt, how to fit the scene rather than mix it all together and end up with a three-piece suit of distressed denim. TOTEMIC is a yin-yang marriage of John’s lifetime in specialty coffee and beverages, partnered with Marilyn’s extensive background in design, brand management and strategy.

John’s global scope and unique leadership in speciality coffee comes from unparalleled end-to-end experience in the industry. He has been in involved in roasting, import and export, sourcing and procurement, research and product development, growth strategy, sales and distribution, as well as overseeing major coffee production infrastructure and project management. This has afforded John a ‘holistic’ vision of speciality coffee and beverages, allowing him to see and set the trends, such as establishing ‘formulated coffee water’ back in 2008 and establishing a coffee roasting business and brand in 2013.

 John’s passion for innovation and growth in specialty coffee now sees his attention switch to TOTEMIC where he continues to harness new technologies while building a global network of specialty coffee brands and artisan roasters.
