The Authors

Business Over Coffee was started by three friends who all have a passion for business and found themselves discussing business over coffee quite often. Over one of these talks, the three had the idea to start a blog that could provide this same business over coffee experience for readers all around the world and let them interact with the authors and other readers. Whether you own a business or work for one, there is always something to be learned from discussion about business. A little history about the authors:

Austin Spitzer

Austin was born in Clovis, CA where he spent the first 17 years of his life. The day after his 17th birthday, he and his family moved to Jacksonville, Florida.

In 2007, Austin moved to Tulsa, OK to complete his undergraduate studies and in spring of 2009 he graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration and a minor in Spanish. He is now currently working on his M.B.A. with a concentration in Finance at Oral Roberts University .
