FAMILY VALUES ABOVE ALL
Andrea and German met in college in 2006 and have been together since. They moved to Florida in 2013, where they had Bastian and Anneliese. They are all animals, sports, and food lovers; hosting BBQs is their favorite hobby since meeting with friends and family brings constant happiness to their lives. Their midwestern lifestyle and entrepreneurial background drove them to get into the meat business, which helped combine their passions.
In 2017, German started from scratch an award-winning Online Butchershop that became one of America’s pioneers in this industry; after five years, he left the corporate-driven style company to pursue his new “Family Values driven” company dream in a more family friendly city in Orlando, Florida. Their life motto is Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s: “To love and serve above all else.” Now their story continues...
GERMAN & ANDREA
At the heart of Carnez, a leading online butcher shop, are its dedicated founders, German and Andrea, whose combined expertise and passion have shaped the company's unique identity and success.
German's Journey
German’s multifaceted background in Business Administration and Culinary Arts, with specializations in Sales & Marketing and Business Finance, has been instrumental in shaping Carnez. His extensive career in the service industry, encompassing hotel, restaurant, and catering business development, management, and accounting, reflects his unwavering dedication to excellence. German's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish and manage his own businesses, including the consulting firm Barvoll and the Latin food retail shop, Latin Roots Food Market.
A pivotal chapter in German’s life was the time he spent living among farmers in Michigan. This experience allowed him to forge strong relationships and gain an in-depth understanding of the farming industry. His time with the farmers opened his eyes to the underappreciated quality of their produce and the hard work involved. Inspired by these insights and his love for BBQ and grilling, German envisioned an online butcher shop that would honor these values and deliver premium quality meats to a wider audience. This vision became a reality in 2024 with the founding of Carnez.
Andrea's Contribution
Andrea’s academic background in Business Administration with a specialization in Banking and Finance complements German’s expertise. While she excels in her banking career, Andrea’s passion for photography and cooking adds a unique dimension to Carnez. Her stunning photographs are featured across Carnez’s website and marketing materials, capturing the essence of their premium meats and the joy of cooking.
Andrea’s supportive role in German’s entrepreneurial ventures has been invaluable. Her love for cooking and caring for her family resonates with the core values of Carnez, emphasizing the importance of quality, service, and the joy of sharing delicious meals.
BASTIAN & ANNELIESE
The Carnez family story wouldn’t be complete without mentioning German and Andrea’s children, Bastian and Anneliese. Both children share their parents’ love for grilled meats, making family BBQs a cherished tradition.
Bastian, with his fascination for reptiles and dinosaurs, brings a sense of adventure and curiosity to the family. His excitement for these ancient creatures is matched only by his enthusiasm for grilled steaks and ribs, making him the perfect little carnivore.
Anneliese, on the other hand, adores puppies and princesses. Her love for animals and fairy tales brings a magical touch to the Carnez family. Anneliese’s favorite moments are those spent with her family around the grill, savoring delicious meats and enjoying the stories and laughter that come with each meal.
