KEATON SCHAEFFER
Keaton is co-founder of Homage Coffee Source and serves as the organization’s director of OPERATIONS & FINANCE. You’ll typically find him trying out new strategies to optimize operations, managing the coffee supply chain, reading a book, or fixing pretty much any computer issue.
Keaton graduated from Texas A&M University and worked with Jake to realize their college dream of starting a roasting company. As a roaster, Keaton experienced the ability of coffee to bring communities together and create a feeling of belonging. He now brings that vision to Homage as the company looks to unite producers and roasters to celebrate what we have in common as global citizens.
As an entrepreneur in residence at Startup Aggieland, Keaton’s background includes experience as a business development strategist and IT consulting.
Keaton’s return to coffee was fueled by his deep-rooted passion for the product, the industry, and the people who cultivate its value. He is motivated by deepening relationships, increasing quality, and utilizing coffee’s global footprint to honor and serve coffee farmers, roasters, and consumers.
