Don Felipe Coffee: A Gallery of My Personal Journey

I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, descended from a family of coffee farmers. My childhood was filled with the sights and aromas of lush coffee plantations, where I witnessed the incredible journey of coffee—from a simple fruit to the perfectly roasted beans ready for sale.

After serving in the Colombian Army, I pursued a degree in Civil Engineering before moving to the U.S. in search of the American dream. In 2010, I enrolled at Georgia State University, earning my MBA with hopes of one day starting my own coffee business. However, destiny had other plans, leading me into an incredible Project Management career that spanned over 13 successful years.

One of the most epic moments of my life was becoming an American citizen—a true dream come true. The opportunity to live, work, and build a future in this great country has been nothing short of amazing.

In November 2024, an unexpected layoff became the catalyst for something greater. Fueled by a mix of frustration and ambition, I finally took the leap to fulfill my lifelong dream—Don Felipe Coffee was born. In December 2024, I proudly made my first sale, launching my business organically, from the ground up.

None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of my mom—a strong woman who has been by my side through every step of this journey. All my gratitude and admiration belong to her. She has been my biggest supporter, my guide, and my inspiration.

I stand today on two unshakable pillars: My Mom and the Army. They have shaped me into the man I am today—resilient, disciplined, and determined to build something meaningful.

Now, as I embark on this entrepreneurial journey, I am reminded that everything happens for a reason. God is in control, and I couldn't be more excited to share my passion for authentic Colombian coffee with the world.
