OUR TEAM

Rachel Rodriguez

Account Manager

To say that spices are in my blood would be an understatement, I have been called the modern day “Spice Girl” many times. Growing up in a family business has taught me the importance for hard work, commitment and the true value of family. I am a graduate from Regis University with a degree in Business Administration. I’m excited to be a part of the dynamic team at All American Seasonings. Receiving our SQF certification is vital to our future growth, and I’m excited to be a part of a company that takes its commitment toward providing customers the safest product possible so seriously. In my free time you can find me on a golf course, playing with my St Bernard Titan, spending time with my family / friends or enjoying the beautiful state of Colorado.

What spice are you and why?

I am coriander. I’m the spice in Belgian style wheat beers that all the hipster wannabes like to drink. Without coriander this beer would taste like watered down orange juice.

Andy Rodriguez

CEO

I wouldn’t know what to do if my car, house or clothes didn’t smell like spices. I guess you could call me “ The Guy with the Smelly Briefcase” . As the 3rd generation President of All American Seasonings, I have been surrounded by the sweet, pungent, bitter, fiery taste of spices my entire life. I’ve been blessed to have a great family, and work with wonderful people. When not smelling the aromatic scent of my office, you can find me climbing the hills of Colorado on my road bike/mountain bike, golfing with my family, or lounging on a beach.

____________

What spice are you and why?

Mint. This herb is extremely versatile, tenacious, resilient, and best of all, it makes a great refreshing Cuban Mojito.

Shannon Westervelt

Purchasing Manager

With almost 7 years of being in the industry I have finally found a position that fits my personality and a company where I have a sense of accomplishment. I enjoy the daily challenges that this business brings and I value the relationships and friendships that I have built with suppliers over the years. When not at work I enjoy Colorado’s great outdoors and sitting on patios at local breweries with Quinn, my Rhodesian Ridgeback who is an amazing sidekick.

____________

What spice are you and why?

I’m Ginger because I can be both sweet and spicy.

From Our Founder/CEO

Welcome to All American Seasonings; a family owned organization that has succeeded into its third generation and continues to thrive into the future.

Incorporated in Havana Cuba in 1952 under a different name, our company was the island’s only manufacturer of seasonings and food ingredients. Prior to Castro’s communist takeover of Cuba in 1959, our successful business was auspiciously serving the entire Caribbean and most of Central America, effectively competing against European and North American manufacturers.

Forced to abandon the business and everything of value behind, my family escaped to America in 1961, and incorporated in Denver, Colorado in 1968. My Father was so proud to be in America that he became a US Citizen and named the company All American Seasonings.

The company became as much about the importance of family and values as it was about achieving the American Dream. The company’s primary focus in the early beginnings, was serving the meat and Pork Sausage industry throughout the United States. As the company’s growth continued, it began diversifying into every facet of the food industry. WE SAID NO TO NO ONE; not to ourselves nor to our customers. Our challenge as entrepreneurs was to exceed expectations of what a custom blending facility could achieve, and this philosophy is what built All American Seasonings, and remains our guiding principle today.

As a manufacturer of customized food ingredient systems, our company works as a team along with food companies throughout Canada, Central America, and the United States. Forthrightly, our aim is to provide wholesome products, accurate blends, and offer the best customer service in the food ingredient blending business. Our company is fully committed to quality, excellence, delivering superior service through a progressive approach to people, technology and processes.

I thank you for visiting our All American Seasonings website, and as you peruse our site you will see our 70,000 square foot facility, witness the state of the art blending, filling and packaging equipments, the meticulous standards of sanitation, positive working conditions, and you’ll discover why excellence came to be synonymous with All American Seasonings.
