Along with co-founder, Justin Ianelli, their granola bars are on track to provide those with dietary issues with a healthy snack.

"It's important to me because I love seeing the smile on people's faces when they actually eat our product, while getting all the superfood health benefits," said Nastasi.

Nastasi's journey was inspired by his older brother who is also an entrepreneur.

"My brother is the biggest inspiration to me," said Harrison Nastasi about his older brother.

"I think one of my biggest motivations is to be a good role model...I'm just proud of him at such a young age to take this endeavor on," said Graduate Assistant at Rowan University, Nicholas Nastasi.



Nastasi and Ianelli's work was recently recognized with a first place win at College Entrepreneurs' Organization Global Conference and Pitch Competition.
