Carson nourishes authentic communities by connecting people through food and entertainment. Crohn’s disease forced him to think deeply about life, meaning, and purpose at a young age. After losing 18-inches of his colon, Carson “accidentally” completed a degree from William & Mary and left his career in real estate behind. Choosing instead to pursue his lifelong passion.
Carson’s goal is to nourish lives and help people indulge in our common ancestral language. Food.
In order to pursue this goal, he founded SweezEats amidst the pandemic in Sept 2020 as a means to build community through their cookie gift boxes.
Since then, they’ve partnered with small businesses to ship signature batch cookie gifts to their clients, donors, and employees. They’ve shipped a total of over 13,000 cookies to friends and customers… and counting.
