Kurt Beecher Dammeier<\/a>
Founder & CEO<\/em>, Sugar Mountain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A fourth generation Puget Sound native, Kurt Beecher Dammeier<\/a> (\u201982) has always felt passionate about authentic, full-flavored foods, free of artificial additives. He is the owner and head chef of Sugar Mountain, a creative food company that is home to extraordinary food brands and restaurants, from the award-winning Beecher\u2019s Handmade Cheese to The Butcher\u2019s Table, a Seattle steakhouse that features Sugar Mountain\u2019s Mishima Reserve American Wagyu. With each operation, Dammeier\u2019s goal is to demonstrate how quality ingredients make for delicious meals, without added food colorings, flavor enhancers, or preservatives. Beyond the retail world, Dammeier influences people\u2019s eating habits through his books, Pure Flavor and Pure Food<\/em>, and through The Beecher\u2019s Foundation (501c3), an educational program focused on healthy food choices and production. In addition to promoting clean ingredients, Sugar Mountain also significantly invests in plastics and carbon reduction.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The WSU Carson College of Business Power Breakfast speaker series has been a signature event for over 20 years. It continues to inform, inspire, and engage business leaders in the Greater Puget Sound on contemporary business issues.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
