Tell us about yourself
I co-founded Bizzy Coffee with my buddy Andrew Healy. We met when we were 12 in middle school became classmates in high school. While we went to different universities, we remained friends, and this was when we became passionate about fitness. After university, we both had corporate jobs and ran some side-businesses together. Then we also decided to join The World's Toughest Mudder - an extreme endurance race. Juggling training for the race, working our jobs and running our side businesses. So we wondered if there was something that could provide us the stamina and the energy to manage all 3. There were a lot of drinks out there that provided energy, sure, but we wanted a healthy, convenient source of energy. It was during this time that Andrew and I discovered cold brew coffee. Today, we are the #1 bestselling cold brew coffee on Amazon. And being able to help many people become more productive and be their best selves with the help of our cold brew coffee products is something really rewarding and really something that motivates us to keep pushing.
