- About Me:
- Kicking Horse Coffee’s President, Co-Founder and in-house Chief Idea Officer, Leo is a fierce competitor – both in and out of the ring. Not only great at thinking of creative ideas, Leo is also a master of execution and keeps the rest of us on our toes, and in his wake. When not trying to figure out the next “best” thing, Leo spends his time scouring the globe to source an even larger supply of Organic, Fair Trade Coffee to keep our Roasters and Packaging Machines humming, all the while thinking about alternative ways to recapture energy, reduce our garbage and deciding whether or not we can throw yet another item into our composting worm bin!
- About My Company:
- "What are you two schmucks going to do with your lives? Sell coffee from your garage?" - Elana Rosenfeld's mother
And so in 1996 Leo Johnson and Elana Rosenfeld did precisely that. In the Rocky Mountain town of Invermere, B.C., Canada, they began roasting coffee in their skivvies when it was hot out, balancing babies and experimenting with different products.
