I had the idea for Pedal Java while daydreaming over a coffee break at my web development job. I had graduated from college and written code for the power company, the university, the hospital, and the non-profit. By all signs, I was in an upwardly mobile industry with tons of opportunities ahead of me. I got a job with a media agency who had scored projects with big name celebrities like Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, Def Leppard, The Grammys and more. I was happy, successful and making good money, but I was always worried. I worried about those fancy contracts. I worried about my sales team who over-promised and under-charged. I worried about losing my job to a younger, smarter talent. And I wasn't alone. Most of my friends hated their jobs and dreaded the trip into work every day.
Pedal Java was born in a break room with small coffee gadgets and a desire for a better life. Within 2 months of starting the company, I transitioned from part-time to full-time. My business was growing, and I was overwhelmed with appreciation. I began taking the coffee bike to large offices in town through the week and local events on weekends. Within the first year, my wife started working part-time during large events. Our love for coffee fueled the energy and passion of the business.
Today, my wife and I both are living the coffee break lifestyle full time. You can find us at a variety of large office buildings in Knoxville, events in East Tennessee and beyond, or catering a great event or beautiful wedding.
