Took Alpine Start from 0 to 1.

Along with my co-founder, Matt, we built Alpine Start into a venture backed, nationwide brand selling in quality retailers like REI, Huckberry, Safeway and Whole Foods. Being small and scrappy, I had my hands on everything from the branding to the supply chain. We’ve made great products and built a great team of people who love the brand.

2008 - now

It all began with an idea my brother and I had. We started BIXBI Pet as a company called Organic Pet Superfood while I was in college - it was a supplement company selling medicinal mushrooms to dogs, funny because we were wayyy ahead of the times there. Neither of us really knew what the hell we were doing, but we ended up doing pretty well through a combination of grit and luck.

Together we figured out how to build roughly 100 different SKU’s and learned along the way.

I’m still a shareholder and member of the board.

I’m super proud of the work we did together, from traveling around the country attending tradeshows to getting into your local mom and pop stores to Whole Foods and Target and Petsmart it’s been a fun ride.
