About Us
Julie and I moved to Indiana from North Carolina in early 2003 to open The Commonplace Coffeehouse & Roastery. I had just finished a graduate degree in Philosophy. Julie had worked as a social worker.
We decided to take a trip in our 1974 Volkswagen Bus. Part of the purpose of the trip was to find a small town in which to open a coffeehouse.
During the trip a friend called to tell us about Indiana, PA and a possible place to open the coffeehouse. After two trips, we were convinced that this was the place where we wanted to open a place where people could come together to study, hangout, or meet.
The Commonplace Coffeehouse & Roastery opened in March 2003.
We have since had out first baby, Soren, who was born in December 2003. Our second child, Seth, arrived in April 2007, and our third son, Matthias, was born in April 2010.
