the SIGNAL STORY

When Brendan first met Rebecca, during college years in Albuquerque, NM, he was quite obsessed with coffee.
Two decades passed in-between, during which Rebecca lived in NYC and Cape Cod, and Brendan moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he remained. When they met once again, one of her first enquiries was to ask if he was still as passionate about coffee. His answer: YES.

What started as a foray into home roasting became SIGNAL, and quickly. It turns out that roasting coffee is the perfect medium for this person of many eclectic interests, a love of relentless research and a deep passion for coffee to thrive and create something great. With Rebecca's eye for aesthetic and design, cultivated during her long career as a portrait photographer, and Brendan's strong creative edge, SIGNAL reflects both our shared interests, love of community...and of course, coffee.
