Experience
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Oct 2012 — Present · Whittier, CA, US
After 5 years of military service, I spent ten weeks backpacking through Europe and wrote up my business plan. I came home to Los Angeles and used my 3 months of unemployment to build Zen\'s Tea House; an international tea company that specializes in the manufacturing of organic alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs. Within the first two years of operations, the company acquired a small distribution center with over 20 different satellite locations throughout the greater Los Angeles area. As of 2020 we have over 60 farmers market locations with a cafe in Norwalk CA Tea House was the first of many companies I started. This is where I made the most mistakes and learned very valuable lessons. On this note I would like to thank all my past and present associates/co-workers and loyal customers. Most of the success I had with this company is largely accredited to them,\'Thank you & God Bless.\'
