Ryan Black
Ryan Black is the co-founder and CEO of Sambazon (Sustainable Management of the Brazilian Amazon), a manufacturer of organic açaí berry and Amazon superfood-based consumer and industrial products.〔(July 2009) “Açaí: A Nutrient-rich Staple with Export Potential” New Agriculturist.〕 Black created the company with his friend, Ed “Skanda” Nichols, and brother, Jeremy Black, following a surf trip to Brazil in 1999 where they experienced their first açaí bowls and subsequently introduced açaí to the U.S. market.〔Shilander, Jim (March 21, 2013) “San Clemente’s Own Brand of Superfood” San Clemente Times.〕
== Early Life and Football Career ==
Growing up in Newport Beach, Ryan and his older brother, Jeremy, were active in various sports. In 1984, the two boys and their mother moved to Scottsdale, AZ to be closer to their grandparents.〔Jennifer Parker (May 18, 2010) “Sambazon Acai – Arizona’s own, founders Ryan and Jeremy Black” Examiner.〕 In Arizona, the boys pursued skateboarding and football, while attending Horizon High School where Ryan focused his extra-curricular activities on football, knowing that without the necessary financial resources, it might be a way to attend college.〔
Although Ryan excelled in football and had a successful high school career, no Division I scholarships were offered following his senior season, so he sold his car and took out student loans to pay for out of state tuition and joined the nationally ranked University of Colorado Buffaloes football team in 1993 – he soon thereafter earned a full scholarship, despite suffering a broken leg in the first week of school.〔Monheit, Len (March 23, 2008) “Up & Comers: An Interview With Ryan Black, CEO of Açaí Category-maker Sambazon” NewHope360.〕 Ryan eventually earned a spot as Buffaloes starting Strong Safety and broke the school record for tackles in 1996, leading all Division I NCAA players. He earned his undergraduate degree from the Sloan Business Schoo l with an emphasis in Finance.
Ryan signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in 1998, and was released in pre-season. Ryan then signed a contract to play in the European Football League, where he played two seasons in 1999 and 2000 in Milan, Italy and Paris, France.〔Gunther, Marc (November 23, 2010) “Why Açaí? Ask the Sambazon Guys” Marc Gunther: Business. Sustainability.〕
