Got Your Six Coffee Co. (GY6CC)

Got Your Six Coffee Co. (GY6CC) is passionate about helping veterans and others who put their lives on the line everyday to serve and protect us. Because of that a portion of all the profits from Got Your Six Coffee go to our non-profit, GY6 Foundation which has a primary mission to ‘serve those who serve’. Veteran homelessness, veteran suicides, and the daily struggles that veterans, LEO’s, EMT’s and Fire Fighters have with respect to PTSD needs to be addressed and we intend to lend a hand with that… 8 of them to be exact. That is exactly why we have an octopus as part of our logo because we are lending a hand, or arm in this case, to members of the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy, Marine Corp, Law Enforment, Emergency Medical Technicians and those in the Fire Fighting community.

My sons school does this awesome thing where they incorporate and teach Dr. Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective Leaders. It has been awesome to see my son grow under these teachings and I wanted to share and inspire others with it. At the beginning of the year he was tasked with coming up with "Wildly Important Goals" so that night my wife and I sat down at the dinner table with him to help him out with his...

In September of 2017, during our response to Hurricane Irma, we learned that many of the First Responders did not go home at night. They work long days which not allow them to go home and they often crash at the station.
This got us thinking…while the First Responders are taking care of the community, who is taking care of their families? Often times their families are left to fend for themselves. This is where we come in! We “have their 6”.
Thanks to amazing sponsors, partners and companies who believe in our mission of service to those who serve, we are well on our way towards completing our Got Your Six Coffee Co Disaster Response/Coffee Truck.

Its hard enough to find a needle in a hay stack. Let alone two needles at the same time. Clay Croft of Expedition Overland and Dave Harriton of American Expedition Vehicles have both been a huge inspiration to me. I have watched them over the years following their dreams, accomplishing their goals, turning their passions into careers. They both live by the creed that if your turn your passions into careers you will never work another day in your life. You could...

The other day my son came to me while I was in my office and said "Daddy, I want help people like you" and when I turned around he had in his hands a Lego creation that he called his coffee makers. I suddenly found myself choked up with emotion because I saw through him that what I was doing is being noticed. Not just noticed by the public but being noticed by my son! Who would have figured that...

Over the past week the southern and the midwestern states have been hit pretty hard with tragedy. Everything from tornadoes down south to massive flooding up here in the midwest, and amidst it all, I have seen a variety of posts on Facebook that have inspired me to say something. The most recent being a video of several bystanders who were working ferociously to rescue two small children from a truck that had been turned over into a flood zone....
