Austin Patry the co-founder of Rollin’ and Bowlin’ Fresh Foods, is an entrepreneur with a diversified set of business interests, skills, and goals, who is determined to make a positive impact in this world. He graduated from Texas Christian University in 2017 with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, focusing specifically on Entrepreneurial Studies. However, his interest and passion for entrepreneurship run way back into his childhood. His strengths are in leadership, communication, management, and creativity, allowing him to make outside-of-the-box decisions. When he started Rollin’ and Bowlin’ Fresh Foods with his partner, Sophia Karbowski, their main aim was to provide a healthy and nutritious food option for students on the TCU campus. However, the innovative idea of acai-bowl to-go with a drive-thru option attracted many consumers, allowing them to open healthy cafes around Dallas and Fort Worth. Working with Mr.Patry has been extremely beneficial because I am able to learn from first-hand experiences of starting a business. Each week, I get to discover a new business, which I can go back and research more about. Additionally, developing my own creative ideas for businesses has also been rewarding because it allows me to pinpoint challenges that I may incur along the way, and how I could prevent them. His mentoring has truly made a huge impact on me because I get inspired by his passion for helping others and the world. In the future, I hope to apply my experiences to also spread positivity.

I am so thankful for this opportunity to learn from Mr.Patry. He makes sure to teach me something new every time: whether is about business and finance or personal anecdotes. Once again, I cannot truly express how grateful I am!
