Artisan Profile: Brandon of Lift Chocolate
May 06, 2022
We are excited to share a new Artisan Profile with you today. It's the man behind a line of beautiful chocolates (he's always coming up with unique seasonal chocolates for pretty much every holiday) and chocolate bars - Brandon Busch of Lift Chocolates. Brandon is an ex-marine helicopter pilot who, over the past few years, has transitioned into running a successful Colorado chocolate brand. One interesting part of his story is that he purchased a pre-existing chocolate company, then rebranded it to Lift and slowly changed the product line to be completely his own. Fun fact - his fellow marines have nicknamed him "Candy Man" :). We hope you enjoy his story!
