Meet the Founders

Austin is a serial entrepreneur (he sold homemade ski wax to his friends as a child), outdoor sport enthusiast, and driven sales professional with over a decade of experience in wholesale chemical trading. He holds a BA in economics from the University of Washington and a MBA with a focus in leadership from the University of Holy Names in Oakland, CA.

For nine years Austin opened new geographies and product categories for a Seattle-based chemical trading company. Working for the company from Seattle, Chicago, and the San Francisco Bay Area, he was one of only a handful of sales representatives in company history to book over $1MM in profit in multiple calendar years. He loves the challenge of sales and feels rewarded by the many friends and mentors he has made along the way.

Austin and his wife, Lauren, admit to wearing matching Crocs while they walk their adorable pitbull, Hunk (yes, he's as hunky as his name implies). Austin is also known for mixing up his workout routine with a few bikram yoga classes and squash matches in between rugby rucks.

Concentrating on the Food & Beverage/Nutraceutical industry, he successfully worked with multinational companies and helped form distribution channels for international manufacturers in North America.

An entrepreneur at heart, he received his BA in Economics from the University of Washington with an emphasis on international trade and has worked in the commodity chemical and outdoor sports industries where he has successfully developed new business from the ground up.

Look for Kevin out at sporting events talking with athletes and educating people about zealios products. He is a self described athlete who is "dangerous over short distances," as any good rugby player would be.
