Born and raised in Mt. Prospect, IL, a suburb of Chicago, I was the third oldest of eight children in my family. At 16 years old, I landed my first job working full-time at a coffee service business while attending high school. I filled orders, unloaded trucks, and fixed coffee machines in the warehouse. By 18, I was leading a sales team and completing office duties. In addition, I took classes at night after work. 

Over the next 26 years, I held every role possible in the business. In 1999, I purchased a coffee service business with a partner, and it doubled in revenue over five years. We sold the company, and I became part of a startup that eventually sold to a corporate entity in 2012. That’s when I closed the door on 39 years among independent operators to join the corporate world. Over the next nine years, I built the branch’s revenue up 20 times pre-acquisition levels, gained experience managing national accounts, and participated in many acquisitions. Also, I helped others improve their branch and became a training ground for teams nationwide to learn best practices and processes.

Finally, a year and a half into the pandemic, it was time for my career to pivot again. I left corporate to help other business owners conquer daily challenges, and Orrin Huebner, Business Consultant, was founded. Nothing makes me happier than helping you build long-term success in your business. So, let’s get to work today!
