His mission to create the best-tasting coffee imaginable began in 2014, while working for the water filtration company The Water Initiative he began brewing and kegging nitro cold brew coffee in his apartment in New York City. He teamed up with Co-Founders and Childhood best friends Grant Gyesky, Justin Weinstein, and Melissa Kalimov, selling "door to door" in New York City, introducing the city that never sleeps to "Nitro Cold Brew Coffee".
