As a 21-year-old, who’d never left his home continent, Hap Cameron boldly set himself the goal “to live and work in every continent of the world before the age of 30.” Over the next 9 years, he worked 32 jobs on the world’s 7 continents: from oil rigs in Canada, cycling through Africa, to being a 6-star waiter on an Antarctic cruise ship. Halfway through his travels, he met his American wife Mandy who came from Denver, Colorado. The owner of Happy Cones - A New Zealand style ice cream shop, joins Chef or Death today! Delicious!

Hap Cameron’s first job as a 10-year-old was picking berries at his local berry farm in his home town of Nelson, New Zealand. With his first paycheck, he sat with his father at the berry farm parking lot and bought his favourite kind of ice cream for him and his dad—a real fruit ice cream. After traveling the world, he arrived to settle down in Denver with his wife Mandy, he saw that real fruit ice cream wasn’t here, and he knew that he was going to be the person to bring New Zealand style ice cream to America. In 2015 he started Happy Cones Co with his ice cream truck and in 2019 opened America's first New Zealand style creamery located at the Edgewater Public Market located a block west of Denver's Sloans Lake.
