Shivers Shaved Ice & Dirty Soda
Creating memories, one cup at a time!
We are Pittsburgh's Premier Shaved Ice & Dirty Soda Experience. Shivers is a mobile dessert vendor specializing in shaved ice and flavored sodas operating throughout the Greater Pittsburgh region. Co-owned with my wife Allison, our mission is to bring together our communities and create life-long family memories, one shaved ice cup at a time.
I've honed my administrative, marketing, advertising, budgeting, and website development skills to drive a greater than 4x gross profit increase between 2024 and 2025!

Underpebble
Tiny adventures, big memories.
Underpebble gives families a daily micro-adventure nudge — tailored to your local weather, the time of day, and the gear you already own. No planning required. Every suggestion is a specific, doable outdoor activity, from a quick 10-minute backyard mission to a full afternoon adventure.
Everything stays on your device — no account, no cloud sync, and no ads. It's a screen-time alternative built to turn a daily nudge into a lasting family habit of choosing the outdoors.
Key Features
Weather-Smart Suggestions
Every nudge is tailored to your actual conditions — sunny afternoon adventures differ from drizzly morning ones. The app reads your local forecast so you don't have to.
Fits Your Gear
Tell Underpebble what equipment you have on hand and it filters adventures to match — bikes, magnifying glasses, rain boots, or nothing at all.
Build Your Streak
Track how many days in a row your family chooses the outdoors over a screen. A simple streak turns a daily nudge into a lasting habit — without the pressure of a fitness app.
Timed or Open-Ended
Some adventures fit in 10 minutes. Others fill a whole afternoon. Each nudge shows a suggested duration and includes a built-in timer so you can stay on track.
Private by Design
Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud sync, no ads. Your family's adventure history is yours alone.
Adventure History
Look back at every nudge your family has completed — a growing record of the small moments that add up to something meaningful.
