About Stewart Parkhurst

I am a class of 2020 graduate from the Hussman School of Journalism and Media at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In the height of COVID-19, I pivoted from going into sports and landed in the field of health and nutrition, at the start-up company, Blender Bombs. I manage our large retail accounts across the United States, with a focus on boosting sales, building relationships and spreading the Blender Bomb mission to enhance the lives of our community, one superfood smoothie at a time. I feel lucky to experience the roller coaster of creating a new CPG category as the category king, and am motivated by all of the opportunities for growth that Blender Bombs has ahead.
