We were two people going through the motions of life, searching for more joy and a sense of purpose when a good friend brought a life-changing book into our orbit. With a cup of coffee in one hand and a book in the other, we got to reading.

The book gave us a new perspective that ignited a passion in both of us for self-discovery and understanding. A few years, many books, and lots of coffee later, we began designing a life that we had previously only dreamt about.

The requirements for this new life were more fun, adventures, lakes, lots of sun, long summers, and a business we could build together. With that as our guide, the location was identified, and Texas Hill Country would be our destination. We packed up and left the only place we had ever known, the Pacific Northwest.

Armed with books, coffee, faith, and determination, we began the journey to our dreams. We drove for a week to Central Texas and then explored our new state for a place to call home. We settled in a small lake town outside of Austin.

Along our journey, we realized that we wanted to share our story with the world in hopes of inspiring others. We were determined to pay the gift that we had been given forward. Almost immediately, we knew the best way to do that was to start where it all began, with a cup of coffee and a book!

Our mission became clear; we would set out to change the world a cup and a book at a time. With that, the idea for Skyrocket Coffee was born.

To our friends and family, old and new, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love and support.

With love and appreciation,

Chris & Crystal
