Meet Sheridan, creator of ADVNTR coffee
Seek Your Adventure
In one way or another coffee has influenced every aspect of my life, connecting me with basically all the things I value as an adult. From community and friendships, to personal grown and self-care, to striving and learning, heck coffee has even indulged in my desire of TRAVEL and adventure! It's easily said that coffee is a huge part of what fills my heart.
Even though I did not realize it at the time my specialty coffee journey began over a decade ago, in 2013, when I first left my small rural town in North Dakota to travel abroad. As a person who had never really drank coffee before that time, I had no real association to it, coffee was coffee. So when I truly discovered coffee to me it became this avenue of bonding and connecting with people. Every new place I visited I ended up sharing a cup of coffee with someone. I learned about cultures and met amazing individuals, I shared stories and had deep conversation over the simple act of sharing a cup of coffee.
Those first memories built the framework that would become one of the beliefs I have for ADVNTR Coffee Company and from that first realization I began looking deeper into experiencing all the different coffee styles, tastes, and culture that I could while traveling.
Roasting and starting a coffee business
While living in Bali, Indonesia, I began forming the basics of what I wanted to create for ADVNTR coffee. I have always dreamed of having a business and as I attended one of the best coffee schools in the whole region, completing the Specialty Coffee Association's beginner and intermediate roasting program, alongside experiencing sensory development classes I dove deeper into coffee than I had ever before.
My passion was at high when I spent the next year discovering beans, roast profiles, flavors, and tastes, so on the side I started brainstorming the vision of ADVNTR Coffee. I then moved back to the USA and started working at a local cafe as a barista and part time roasting. During that time I completed the Barista Hustle online program to deepen my knowledge and confidence to share my passion to the world.
In true bootstrap mode I have done all the things for ADVNTR coffee, from the website, to packaging, styling, and fonts, doing photography, and social media, I even self-learned the process of setting up a food and beverage business in the USA and USPTO.
This has been a grind and growth but so worth it so far because I get to share my passion with the world.
About Sheridan
As mentioned above I am from North Dakota, but I have called the road home for quite a while now, from being a backpacker, to full-time van-lifer, and even freelancing while traveling for brands and outdoor companies as a professional photographer, I have lived more time with just a backpack on my back than younger me would have thought possible! 2023 saw me settle down a short while in the PNW, establishing my first home in a decade, to heal my soul a bit and focus on building ADVNTR coffee, while also gaining more stability to work and enjoy nature in a wonderful part of the country where I had never been before.
Throughout these transformational years I have worked more odd jobs than I can count, in so many different industries, all of which have allowed me to eventually pursue my passions of ADVNTR coffee and photography.
I deeply enjoy hiking and spending time in nature and travel is a part of my soul. Trail running is my escape, it helps heal and ground myself, I also dive deep into fiction books :)
Craft Coffee for Adventurers
My goal with ADVNTR Coffee is to just help others connect deeper to the moment and create amazing memories. Coffee has brought so much joy to my life, I just want to be able to share that with others.
I am beyond thankful for my family and friends in North Dakota and abroad, without community launching ADVNTR Coffee would never have been possible. My life is a little out-of-the-box, and all of your support keeps the roaster warm and the coffee fresh.
