Olivia has been making home-cooked tasty confections for over ten years, from cookies to pies to pastry and beyond.  She loves finding new culinary challenges to try and getting to share the final product with friends and family.  In Fall 2015, her mire in the nail-biting, squirmy, constant-email-checking state brought on by medical school applications inspired her to find a good distraction, and concocting tasty jams offered exactly that.  After making the mistake of posting her delectable adventures in jam online, requests to purchase these unique, flavor-filled homemade spreads piled up.  Thus Fruitslinger was born.

Greg Schram marketing & master jam taster

Greg knows his stuff when it comes to fun names, spirited mottos, story telling, and collaboration.  He has been with Fruitslinger from the beginning: tasting jams, offering next directions, and building a company image.  And guess what?  It's his day job, too!  You can find Greg's portfolio at www.gregschram.com.  

(Written by Olivia, because we won't ask Greg to go on and on about how amazing he is himself - That's my job.  He's great.  Call me and we can talk about it for hours.)

We all get by with a little help from our friends... Thanks to Kiki of Kiki's Cocoa for being the first to suggest turning Fruitstlinger into a Real Business, lending advice on business operations, and for featuring our jam in one of her monthly cocoa club shipments.  You can find her incredible hand-made chocolates at www.kikiscocoa.com.
