Colin Sevigney, a native of Wells, Maine, achieved notable success in wrestling during his high school years. To many, he appeared to have it all together. However, despite his outward accomplishments, he struggled with inner dissatisfaction and unfulfillment until he discovered drugs and alcohol. Initially, substance abuse provided him with a sense of self, but his life soon began to spiral out of control. Following multiple interventions by his family and being inspired by a Joe Rogan podcast featuring Russell Brand, Sevigney opted to seek professional help. Leveraging the same determination that had driven his wrestling success, he managed to overcome his addiction and achieve sobriety, which he has maintained for seven years. Sevigney has since transitioned into a new role, returning to treatment to assist others struggling with addiction. Currently, he is a student and wrestler at the University of Southern Maine, as well as a wrestling coach at Smittys wrestling barn in Kingston, New Hampshire. Sevigney's story serves as a testament to the transformative power of hard work, determination, and passion in overcoming adversity and achieving a fulfilling life.

Jim Doiron's parents acquired the Sanford Dairy Queen in 1980, when he was seven years old, and soon introduced the brazier line. Following his father's passing in 1990, Jim graduated in 1991 and joined forces with his mother to sustain the business. His mother remains an essential part of the operation, and Jim also recognizes Kathy Giguere, a talented cake decorator who has been with Derry Queen since her high school days. Due to escalating overhead costs and competition from the nearby McDonald's, they eliminated the brazier line in 2009. In 2015, Jim and his mother invested in renovations, including the addition of a drive-thru. Ten years later, they revamped the exterior with a large red spoon and updated color scheme. Jim expresses his gratitude to his employees, past, present, and future, as well as the loyal customers who support the business through walk-in orders, drive-thru, and DoorDash.
