#81. Mark Ritz Grinding It Out How a Coffee Roaster Found Home in Humboldt ||@ScottHammond

Mark’s story begins with a career in the bicycle industry at Yakima Products, where he helped innovate new product lines. But when the company relocated, Mark and his wife Charlie had a life-changing decision to make. Their love for cycling, coffee, and community sparked a bold new direction: crafting high-quality, organic coffee for the outdoor enthusiasts who make Humboldt their home.

As Mark says, “Bike rides start at coffee shops, stop at coffee shops, and finish at coffee shops.”
And Kinetic Coffee was born.

This episode goes far beyond business. Mark opens up about the profound legacy of Kevin Ebert, Charlie’s son — a gifted musician, mathematician, and Navy SEAL medic who saved countless lives before losing his own. The Kevin Ebert Foundation continues his legacy of service, hosting an annual golf tournament to support local causes. The recent creation of the SEAL Team 4 Kevin Ebert Award, voted on by fellow SEALs, stands as a moving testament to Kevin’s impact.
