Meet the Founder
Hi. I’m David. Texas born and raised, and an Aggie class of 2015, I’ve always had a love for hot peppers and hot sauces. My journey started with a simple passion for flavor and grew into a mission to create unique, handcrafted sauces that capture the essence of the American Southwest. Inspired by the wild landscapes of West Texas and the natural beauty of Big Bend National Park, Roadrunner Pepper Co. was born.
At Roadrunner Pepper Co., every sauce tells a story. Whether it’s the smoky heat of Ghostown, inspired by the ghost town of Terlingua, or the fiery punch of Rio Reaper, named after the mighty Rio Grande, my sauces are a tribute to the places that make Texas so unique.
I believe in keeping it simple. Each of my sauces starts with a single source of heat, whether it’s jalapeños, habaneros, ghost peppers, or Carolina Reapers. I then add a few unique ingredients to create something truly special. All of my peppers are sourced with care and special attention to their unique flavors and heat.
