My name is Michael Shogren.

Coming from an Oregon family of teachers, I pride myself in my communication skills. With the places I’ve lived throughout California, my ability to make new relationships and learn the many names and faces has been my biggest asset.

After being a three sport running athlete in college at Western Oregon University, I made my way to California with a Oregon Coffee company. There I moved a lot and trained new employee’s the company’s core values and how to work on espresso machines as I continued to grow the franchise.

I’ve been in Palm Springs since 2015 and I’ve spent most of my time as a wedding bartender at the Colony Palms Hotel. I’ve fallen in love with Palm Springs for its active community and outdoor lifestyle. In my free time I’m still an avid distance runner and I bike, hike, and play golf as much as I can.
