Meet Shawn Warkentin – the curious snacker-turned-jerky-creator with an impulse for flavor and a knack for simplicity.

Shawn’s jerky journey began on a quiet, hunger-fueled afternoon. “I was bored, I was hungry, and I had a smoker,” he writes, and what started as a casual experiment quickly turned into something deliciously unstoppable. He played with flavors, shared his creations with friends—and soon, demand soared beyond his wildest expectations.

That’s when the real adventure began. Encouraged by those around him, Shawn turned his backyard hobby into a full-fledged passion project. Over a couple of years, he honed his recipes to perfection—and here we are today.

What sets Angry Monkey Jerky apart? It’s all in the texture and flavor. By dialing in the moisture to the highest level allowed under FDA guidelines, Shawn achieves jerky that’s rich in taste, softer, and easier to enjoy than most store-bought options.

And it doesn’t stop there—he’s always innovating. Case in point: the Plum Jalapeño flavor. Sweet meets spicy in a bold, unexpected way that fans have been eagerly waiting for.
