Founder & CEO
Tom Vincent
DALLAS, TEXAS – Tom Vincent is the Founder and CEO of Texas Coffee School. Tom has been in specialty coffee since 2006 when he set sail on a two-year apprenticeship with a major specialty coffee roasting company. With the help of some of the most knowledgeable and influential people in the coffee industry, Tom learned the business of coffee from the inside out. Inevitably, Tom evolved from a barista to a teaching assistant, and eventually became a specialty coffee business owner himself when he opened Texas Coffee School in 2010.
(Listen to Tom’s fascinating story about starting Texas Coffee School along with a number of his tips for coffee business start-ups in his interview on The Pathways to Success Podcast.)
Since 2010, Texas Coffee School’s industry-leading Coffeepreneur® course curriculum has proudly supported hundreds of people in opening, and growing their own successful specialty coffee businesses. Today, Texas Coffee School employs numerous full-time teachers with extensive and diverse coffee industry backgrounds. As a team we all share a collective passion for specialty coffee, entrepreneurship, and mentoring. We love visiting our student’s thriving coffee shops and seeing the joy it brings them, their families, and their communities! Seeing our students success is the most rewarding feeling as teachers and it drives us to be better at what we do every single day!
