Eugene Cho, [Executive Director] and his wife, Minhee, helped start Q Cafe in 2001. He enjoys working with the staff, advisory board, and volunteers in their joint effort to help create a very unique "glocal" neighborhood cafe. Born in Korea, he immigrated to the U.S. at age six and grew up in San Francisco. He, Minhee, and their three kids moved to Seattle in 1997 and hope to be here for a very long long time.

His hobbies include coffee, sports, reading, air guitar, and blogging. Favorite drink: Vanilla latte. Email:eugenecho@qcafe.org. You can also follow him on Twitter.
Brian [Cafe Director] was born and raised in the glorious midwest, hailing from the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Having moved to Seattle in 2008, Brian recently transitioned from working in the field of Higher Education to café management, and has quickly fallen in love with the craft of coffee. He and his family love living in Seattle, and enjoy exploring the great outdoors in the Pacific Northwest. He's a Minnesota Twins fan, a sucker for watching ESPN, catching movies and finding new music to enjoy. Favorite drink: double macchiato Email: brian@qcafe.org
