From my origins on the family farm in Northeast Montana circa 1970s, I have always loved beef jerky; but had to settle for mediocre brands. I created my recipe in 1994 while in the U.S. Navy after a failed search for a great tasting, high protein snack to re-fuel my body after exhaustive workouts. In 2018, I turned my hobby of over 20 years into a small business so others can enjoy great tasting beef jerky too!

“Crazy Mike” was dubbed by my friends due to my passion for all things in life and crazy adventures. Skydiving from 14,000 feet, scuba diving past 100 feet, marathons, triathlons, 100-mile bicycle rides, and globe-trotting underwater on nuclear submarines to name a few!

I hope you enjoy eating it as much as I enjoy creating it; Happy Snacking! Crazy Mike
