It's not a business partnership Jeff Tezak ever dreamed would happen.
What are the odds of a baseball player from San Diego and a man from West Africa working on his doctorate in history becoming close friends in Nebraska?
Then to venture together to form a business which highlights a native fruit of which few people are familiar?
"It's a crazy story," said Tezak, who played baseball at Nebraska from 2007-09. "The fact we're from completely different parts of the world and we met and decided to do this in Nebraska."
Tezak played professionally in the Chicago White Sox organization prior to returning to Nebraska in 2016 to serve as a volunteer student assistant coach and work on his master's degree in history.
