Will Branch

Five years after graduating from michigan state university with a ba in english, will branch still had no idea what to do with that degree. It was time to make a choice – law school or culinary. He chose the latter. Since then he cooked in kitchens in new york and detroit, ate his way through the charcuterie of paris, and founded a sausage company. When not spending time making and selling sausage, will has graduated the goldman sachs 10,000 small businesses program, serves as vice president of the board of directors of foodlab detroit, mentors through detroit food academy, and has been named one of crain’s business 40 under 40 in 2018. he still does his best to cook and travel with his wife and daughter and certainly has no regrets about not going to law school.
