My name is Aaron and I am the founder of Kiyya Coffee. 

I graduated college in May of 2024 and while my friends have been busy traveling the world, I have thrown myself into launching this little start up. 

I have always had an itch that I wanted to make a difference in the world through entrepreneurship. I was not sure what that looked like until December of last year when I traveled back to Ethiopia for the first time since being adopted. 

Coffee originates from Ethiopia and is an essential part of the cultural fabric there. It is how people show hospitality, love, and community.  

It is also hands down the best coffee in the world. I knew then that I had to bring this home.  

Over the next few months, I set to work, creating a business plan and getting the ball rolling. But there was only one slight problem...I was in my last year at West Point and about to achieve my goal of being an Army Officer. So, I needed a partner.  

Wyatt, one of my best friends and someone who is crazy enough to quit his job to join me full-time on this wild journey. So please join us.
