63 : Popcorn Powered Veronica Cockerham of Freedom Snacks

Veronica Cockerham was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest.  She grew up in a family that owned and operated businesses so it was no surprise that someday she would start one of her own.  Earning a bachelor’s in business management at City University while working full time running the family  business was no easy task, but with determination and a strong will she graduated on the deans list in 2006.  Later in 2011 Veronica decided to start the road map into owning her own company along with getting married to her very supportive husband Chris.  June of 2011 they welcomed ”The Boss” of Freedom Snacks to the world.  Scarlett, now 2 years old is the driving force to have the “Freedom” to own and operate a company while being a mom and wife.  It’s been almost 3 years now since starting her company out making popcorn in her home kitchen and selling it at farmers markets on the week-ends.  Working hard on growth and streamlined production she opened her manufacturing facility is located in Des Moines, WA in 2012.  Continuing to work hard at creating her own company, Freedom Snacks gourmet popcorn can now be found in hundreds of locations locally and throughout the United States.
