Jeff Brooks

Jeff Brooks is the co-founder of Giv Coffee with his wife Emily. After visiting friends in Kentucky who owned a coffee company with a philanthropic puropose, they were inspired that great coffee could be tied to a bigger cause and giving back. Jeff, a coffee connoisseur himself, started roasting his own beans and in the fall of 2011 Giv Coffee was born.

We talk about what it’s like to run a growing coffee company, traveling the world to source Fair Trade beans and how his faith keeps him grounded, helped him overcome challenges and guides his decision-making process. Let’s get UpFront with Jeff Brooks.
