Hello There! I'm Jake! Born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I moved to Colorado in 2008 after college and living a few years in Minneapolis.

​

I spent over 15 years in corporate management and was getting burned out and felt it was time for a new adventure. I've always had an interest in starting my own company. After a friend had turned me on to a local craft soap shop I was hooked and inspired! The soaps changed my mood, my day and my skin. Natural body care is where it's at! 

​

After tinkering around with recipes I learned how to make via YouTube videos, I seemed to enjoy everything I made and my friends became addicted. It changed their skin for the better. The scent blends I was playing around with at first were inspiring and uplifting. I was now addicted. Good thing I quit my management gig and had two months of vacation saved up!

​

I was addicted to the endless possibilities, scent combos, plethora of ingredients and more. I spent two full months trying to perfect my recipe, source the finest ingredients (many locally), and come up with a business plan. With inspiration from the Rocky Mountains that surround me, and my fascination with ravens, Two Ravens Soap Company, llc was born!

​

Founded officially in February of 2014 in Littleton, Colorado, the website was launched. I took on a low-key management gig to pay the bills while I was able to focus on the business. After the first year of web sales, I started getting into craft fairs and farmer markets. Then two years after launching, I quit the management gig to become a bartender at Lone Tree Brewing Company. This allowed me to put even more focus on the business. More craft fairs, product lines and an increasing amount of wholesale accounts.

​

In 2020, I was doing three farmer markets a week plus one-off craft fairs. The state of affairs in 2020 propelled me to go full time with the business and grow my brand.

​

Now, in 2022, I've been building out my store front in Ken Caryl (West Littleton), and will be opening on October 20th with a Grand Opening celebration in November. Join me on the new adventure of retail store front ownership.

​

I hope my products give you an escape to the mountains I call home. With all the scents inspired by nature, from me to you!
