MEET ASHLEY NICKELSEN OF B.T.R. NATION:
Ashley is the Founder, CEO, and Chief Snack Officer of B.T.R. NATION. She's on a mission to help fix our broken food system one snack at a time. After Ashley's parents were diagnosed with rare forms of cancer, she became their primary caretaker and spent years eating absolute junk from hospital vending machines and cafeterias. She took to the kitchen to create something better for herself and her family. When Ashley's parents passed away, she made it her mission to share these nourishing snacks with the world. Today, B.T.R. NATION has tens of thousands of customers nationwide, is distributed in 500+ doors, and has a cult following all over the world. Ashley lives in San Francisco with her husband, Adam, her beautiful daughter Maddison, and their dog, Marley.
