Ryan Creek Ventures (RCV) launches and manages unique restaurants and specialty food brands. Our properties are designed to educate and entertain, as well as sustain. We focus on the lost traditions of curing, smoking, fermentation, and quality conversation. Our Principals include:
Jason Baxter
Managing Partner
When not focused on the growth of RCV's first investment The Boardroom, Mr. Baxter provides consultation through his marketing and media agency Gigantic Ventures based in Eureka, CA. Jason develops scalable marketing plans, recruits sales and marketing specialists, and manages high-performing teams for emerging high-growth brands. Typical clients include specialty food companies, niche lifestyle brands, travel organizations, and larger agencies catering to similar target markets. (LinkedIn)
Sonny Simonian
Partner
Building upon an education in Food Science and Technology, Sonny has worked in many roles within a variety of food manufacturing industries. From frozen desserts and brewing, to specialty cheese and fine meat, he's led production teams, managed quality programs, and built state-of-the-art facilities for billion dollar food companies. Mr. Simonian is now developing new products for Ryan Creek Ventures while consulting for food manufacturers across the U.S. (LinkedIn)
Together, RCV Principals' professional experience covers an extensive array of specialty foods industries including yogurt, ice cream, cheese, baked goods, bean-to-bar chocolate, frozen desserts, charcuterie, jam, olive oil, craft beer, and preserved seafood among others. We're always interested in learning about new opportunities (contact form) and projects in the food world around us, but please note that we do not sign NDAs or provide free consultation.
