Upon his graduation from Iowa State University, Adam had no expectations of becoming an entrepreneur. However, due to the resources, support, and innovative culture at Iowa State, he leaned into his delicious baking experience and started his full-time business, Schonert's Corporate Catering.
We first saw Adam each week at 1 Million Cups and various Alliance events when his pies, scones, and cookies started magically appearing. Adam’s determination to grow, along with his understanding of how to benefit from connections and join local organizations, has elevated his trademark cookies and his own brand throughout the AREA. This year, he moved his company into a larger space and expanded their full-service corporate catering company to include breakfast, lunch, desserts, hors d’oeuvres, feasting trays, tailgate catering, and more.
It is our pleasure to award Adam Schonert of Schonert’s Corporate Catering, with the Entrepreneur of the Year award!
