By Matt Bishop

Matt Bishop lovingly opened Re-entry Espresso in 2006, it became a very popular coffee shop on Main.  Sadly it closed it's doors on February 27, 2011 and is missed by all.  Matt has stored one of the espresso machines in his basement; staff and regulars continue to beg him to throw coffee parties!  He has two lovely daughters and a wonderful wife, and has now moved onto a new job writing software for a local ecommerce company.
