Experience

1. Founder

   Mad Hatter Foods

   Jan 2006 — Present · Charlottesville, VA, US

   Mad Hatter Foods, a Charlottesville based food-manufacturing company, specializes in a revolutionary habanero/pineapple super condiment. “It’s a dip, spread, marinade, BBQ and hot sauce.” What makes our sauce unique is that we are the only producer that uses high quality, first-press, extra virgin olive oil as the base for the sauce. Mad Hatter Foods has the unique opportunity to deliver a Vegan, Gluten Free, and Dairy Free hot sauce to a market that is littered with sugar based, high sodium, low quality products. Mad Hatter Foods product is available regionally at 100+ stores and restaurants including Whole Foods and Relay Foods.Our vision is to produce a high quality line of products to “Heighten Your Hotness,” and promote a lifestyle in stride with the active, athletic and thrill seeking culture associated with energy drinks and sports apparel.
