	Julie, Warehouse Manager Our product would not make it onto the shelves with out Julie. Spending all day in a frozen warehouse, Julie coordinates all ingredients coming in and all products going out. It takes a impressive person to be able to put on snow pants in the middle of June and work in a freezer all day. We are grateful for her daily contributions to the company.
	Steve Brown, Consultant, Author Steve is the pioneer in the commercially manufactured raw meat pet food industry. In the early 80′s Steve’s got his start in the pet industry when he teamed with some breeders to develop the Charlee Bear Dogs. From there he went on to develop treats and eventually developed the formula for Steve’s Real Food the first AAFCO-compliant, frozen, raw diet. Since then Steve has retired his primary roll with the company and has gone on to focus on more R&D.
