Hi everyone. As the forum says, just wanted to introduce myself. I've been making chocolate truffles for about 9 years now and ventured into making chocolate from the bean about 6 years ago.  My friends and family have convinced me that I should venture out and start a business making chocolate, so I have.

As the intro says, I'm in Arizona. Specifically the Phoenix area.  And yes it becomes difficult to work with chocolate when it's 115+ outside, which may explain the utter lack of bean to bar makers here. :)

New to the site, but have heard about good stuff and of course my google-fu leads me to various forum and blog posts here so I figured this would be a good place to be active. I look forward to getting to know you on the forums.

Tim -

Welcome to TheChocolateLife.

For the sake of members everywhere, what's the name of your company? Want to make sure you are mentioned in the current databases of makers.
