Your Dads Beef Jerky
Faith, Fellowship, and Flavor: The Success of Your Dad’s Beef Jerky
Dave DeBoard’s dad loved making his own beef jerky. When Dave served in the U.S. Army with the 82nd Airborne Division, he frequently received care packages from his parents. These packages always brought the same question from his fellow soldiers: “Is that your dad’s beef jerky?”
The renowned beef jerky eventually became a business called “Your Dad’s Beef Jerky,” managed under DeBoard Enterprises LLC. The family-operated, faith-based business is led by Dave, a disabled veteran, and co-owner Nicole.
Your Dad’s Beef Jerky specializes in premium, handcrafted beef jerky made with high-quality ingredients, available in many flavors. They take pride in offering customer service rooted in quality, integrity, and strong family values.
As the company expanded, Dave and Nicole wanted to better understand the financial and compliance aspects of scaling the operation. They learned about the East Central Indiana Small Business Development Center (SBDC) while looking for resources.
“Working with the East Central Indiana SBDC has helped give us guidance, direction, and valuable business insight as we continue building and expanding our company,” Dave said. “Their support has helped us better understand growth opportunities and how to position ourselves for long-term success.”
Dave and Nicole recommend East Central Indiana SBDC to other entrepreneurs navigating the challenges of starting or growing a business.
“Having access to experienced guidance and professional resources can make a major difference,” Dave explained. “Their support has helped us better understand long-term planning, growth opportunities, and how to position ourselves for future success.”
Clint Albert, business advisor with the East Central Indiana SBDC, appreciated the opportunity to serve as a sounding board and provide confidential business advice to Dave and Nicole.
“It’s been inspiring to watch the company grow from a thought to a thriving business,” Clint shared. “Dave and Nicole never stop and they never give up.”
As Dave and Nicole look ahead, the future is full of opportunity. This is more than a thriving business; it’s a success story built on faith, fellowship, and flavor.
“We are very thankful for the support and encouragement we’ve received,” Dave added. “We’re excited for what the future holds for Your Dad’s Beef Jerky and DeBoard Enterprises LLC.”
