The Journeyman Coffee Co.
Montogomery, TX | 2024 – Present
Marketing Manager
Coffee is a big part of life for most cowboys, ranchers, and cattlemen. Coffee certainly is a big part of The Journeyman’s life as well. The problem was that there was nothing on the market that quite met the needs of The Journeyman. He wanted a good, bold, solid coffee with great flavor. So, just like any other problem a cowboy faces, one that no one is doing right, he decided to do it himself. He found some of the best roasters in the country and worked on creating strong coffee with an incredible flavor. Thus, The Journeyman Coffee Co. was born.
