Let’s get right down to it. If you ask us who we are we’ll tell you that we’re Only Good Brands™ but that’s not who WE are. We’re Carolina and Ryan Haase. Get to know us.
Carolina is a woman of many talents. When she isn’t taking care of Ryan (more than she should), she’s pursuing one of her loves. Carolina loves to cook and is amazing in the kitchen. She can make anything from a gourmet seven course meal to steaks on the grill but her specialty is Mexican food and the best tortillas from scratch that you’ve ever had.
Carolina volunteers at multiple organizations around the Temple/Belton area so you may find her sorting donations or handing out food. She is also very close to her extended family and volunteers at our nieces and nephews schools. She loves being outdoors and working in her garden and being with our many animals (more on them later).
Carolina’s formal training is in Business administration and she managed a customer service team for many years before transitioning over to sales where she eventually became a Regional Sales Director.
Ryan is a man with a big heart, although he doesn’t want you to know that. A huge animal lover, if it was up to him, the Sanctuary farm would have way more animals (he really wants Peacocks!) and the donkeys & horses would be napping inside the house. He will do almost anything to save a farm animal and the impossible to keep his wife happy.
Ryan is personal IT support to Carolina and a guru at researching everything for the company and home. He can also grow an impressive beard! Ryan is a big college football fan University of Michigan to be exact. He grew up attending home games at the Big House and has tons of family memories of these trips.
Ryan is not afraid to try new things (including Carolina’s new recipes). He spent his corporate career in product development, working with suppliers, domestic and overseas. He also has a background in product quality, engineering and a master’s degree in business administration. He hopes to one day be a stay-at-home farm dad.
