About 86 Peppers LLC

I’ve been into hot sauce for over 23 years. The sauce that got me addicted was “The Hottest F’n Sauce”.  I was in a band at the time (drums) and my guitarist, Manny put a little on the end of a toothpick. I was blown away! I remember asking venues to make us the “hottest wings” before we would go on stage. That was fun, until one place put “Da Bomb” on our wings…

Popular sauces at that time were Dave’s Insanity and Blair’s sauces. Times certainly have changed, but not my love and addiction for growing and eating hot things! 86 Peppers was born during the Covid pandemic in 2020. I decided to sell some of my surplus seeds I had collected from prior years of growing and opened up an Etsy shop and 86 Peppers was born! This website followed soon after.

86 Peppers LLC is based on Long Island, NY and is named after my infatuation with the number 86 that has somehow followed me around throughout my life. I grow close to 100 pepper plants each year and I sell the seeds, the peppers, and the plants. One of my greatest passions is performing agricultural experiments that I feature on my Youtube channel.

I am very active in the BMX community on Long Island. I am the founder of the Percy Raynor Bike Park and do my best to make time to ride my custom PDC 22″-wheel bmx bike! My day job is spent managing software, creating videos, and helping staff, faculty, and students learn technology in Higher Education.

Enjoy the site and please reach out if you have any questions!
