Rob “Bobby” Zappia

From humble beginnings to working for top 10 Construction Contractors, our owner Rob has carved out a path for himself through hard work, rusted hands, and sweat.

Upon graduating high school at 17, Rob moved to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California where he majored in Urban Planning and Construction Management. It was during this time that he discovered the multitude of coffee flavors offered throughout the world and found a hobby he was passionate about.

After working with top contractors in the US and Canada for over 15 years, Rob shifted gears and started Dirty Boots Coffee Roasters as a way to produce coffee he loved and could share with his close friends (all of you reading this).
