Tyson Charlson, Dallas. After working as a graphic designer and art director in the advertising field for 10 years, Tyson has found a new calling: making his own jams and jellies. His company, Fruipeno, was born in 2010 and offers 16 flavors with or without hot sauce. They are sold at the UNT CoLab and his goal is to land shelf space in H-E-B, Walmart, Albertson’s and Buc-ees by the end of 2021. “The faculty, staff and departments at UNT made me the person I am today,” he says. “Without them, I wouldn't be jammin' today.”
