About The Owners
Sierra Hibl
Sierra was born in American Fork and raised in Summit Park near Park City, Utah. Her dad and uncle, Rob and Ray, opened Park City Coffee Roasters the year before Sierra was born and have been roasting coffee ever since. She has worked in a cafe as a barista and watched the operations of the company since she was old enough to help out, and has had a front-row seat her whole life to how vibrant the coffee community in Utah actually is - despite what may be thought by those in other states. She has worked as a front-end barista, behind-the-scenes barista, manager of baristas, in a roasting warehouse as both a bagger and assistant roaster, as an account representative, as a vendor and pop-up manager, as a delivery driver for wholesale coffee, and as social media manager… Basically if it involves making or selling coffee, Sierra has had some experience in the process and likely worked a related job.
While studying for a degree in education at the University of Utah, Sierra had a life-changing development in her health and ability to participate fully in daily activities. She is currently working with the pain management team at the University of Utah and is three-years into a diagnosis process with her team of doctors - they are considering all options, and are looking into some diseases not as widely understood. Sierra is very open about her health, experiences with chronic pain, and difficult to diagnose diseases, as well as her experience with the healthcare system as a whole. She is usually willing to discuss these topics with whomever, and is always happy to answer questions. She hopes to one day be able to use these experiences to help other young people in similar situations overcome the difficulties. Despite her grappling with these challenges and ensuing severe life changes, Sierra completed her degree in Family, Consumer, and Human Development. She hopes to use this degree in conjunction with her life experience to better the community she has grown fond of here in and around the Salt Lake Valley.
Dominic Oliver
Dominic was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, living most of his youth in the same house near 9th and 9th and growing up with ample access to coffee shops like Caffe Expresso and Coffee Garden. While in high school - going to Judge in basically the same neighborhood - Dominic expanded his local coffee knowledge greatly enjoying the variety of choices and quality offerings. Meeting Sierra and her family, the owners of Park City Coffee Roasters, expanded Dominic’s knowledge and love of great Utah coffee even more. After high school, Dominic went back to work as a lifeguard at Northwest Rec Center in Rose Park.
Years later, after leaving the Rec Center and working a number of jobs, first as a real estate agent and then later as an insurance agent, Dominic met Trina Perez through a mutual connection after hearing of her desire to sell Buzzed Coffee Truck. Dominic was very intrigued, at this point looking to get out of insurance and into the coffee industry, and this amazing existing business was doing something he had already before wished was being offered - providing great coffee to the Rose Park neighborhood of Salt Lake! Dominic took this opportunity to Sierra, and together they realized Buzzed was an amazing chance to provide communities in Utah around Salt Lake City the same amazing coffee they knew was available locally, as the company was already doing in Rose Park. The company changed hands, and now Dominic spends his days serving specialty drinks out of the Buzzed Truck and building up the Buzzed Coffee Company.
