Sam Grigg
Originally from Melbourne, the self-proclaimed home of the flat white, Sam's coffee career began in the high mountains of central Vietnam. Sam has already lived and worked in some of the most beautiful countries in the coffee-producing world, such as India and Colombia, where he coordinated the exports of a large coffee trader. For List + Beisler, he works out of Miami and is using his strategic acumen and bags of enthusiasm to press ahead with the expansion of the North American market. Sam is aware of the often less than ideal conditions of the farmers in the coffee producing countries, yet he is and remains an idealist. Therefore, he is assuming responsibility as a board member of a leading NGO and providing small and medium-sized coffee farms in origin countries with sustainable funding. But his tendencies for world improvement don't stop there: he never tires in his attempts to educate us in the difference between rugby and Aussie Rules football. Now that's true passion!

Jason Remmer
Jason's story begins in the hard-working farming town of High River in Alberta, Canada. With a degree in Business and International Trade, he found himself captivated by coffee early in his career. Fast-forward, he has now over 30 years of experience in the industry.
His path began in Portland, Oregon, where he worked in a roastery and learn to roast and cup. His curiosity was piqued by the chemistry of roasting—how coffee's flavor transforms with time and temperature. He then spent six years immersed in the world of decaffeinated coffee, eagerly sharing his insights on different decaffeination methods with roasters across the U.S. From there, he entered the green coffee sector, working with a green coffee importer in Portland and San Diego. Today, he brings this extensive knowledge to List + Beisler, where he supports our U.S. team in sales and business development.
Coffee has taken Jason across 33 countries, with some of his favorites being Thailand, India, Italy, and Spain. When he is not traveling or visiting bustling cafés on the hunt for the perfect macchiato, he likes spending his time cooking, reading about history and current events, watching history documentaries, and spending quality time outdoors among the cool ocean breeze that Florida has to offer.

When meeting Gunnar expect the unexpected: he grew up on an island in the North Sea, but ended up on the other side of the world right after high school, spending a year in Australia including desert and exotic animals.

Gunnar has sent quite a few commodities throughout the world along his career path. Just before joining List + Beisler he even sent himself to Tanzania for a few months.
