Blake Eatherton didn’t expect his side gig to become a saving grace.
The Aurora native launched a mobile coffee cart called The Dnvr Coffee Co. in April 2019, operating it himself around his day job as a geologist. A year later, the coronavirus pandemic set in.
“When I first came up with the idea I was working on oil rigs doing geosteering,” Eatherton said. “When the pandemic hit and oil crashed, I lost my job along with most other geologists in the state and I started doing this full-time,” Eatherton said.
