Faces of Kent State - Max Hoover

Max comes from a family of Golden Flashes. His parents, Erik and Stacey, ’93, both attended Kent State University. In 2015 his parents opened Cockeye BBQ and the family has since expanded their business to offer Cockeye Creamery super-premium ice cream, a perfect compliment for their award-winning BBQ.

Max is the owner and operator of Cockeye Creamery, a Warren, Ohio, staple offering unique ice cream flavors that showcase local and unexpected ingredients. Max uses his background as a KSU science major to experiment with innovative flavors for the Creamery. While creating one-of-a-kind flavors is Max’s passion, he is grateful the business also allows him to make a difference in his family’s community.
