CUPPY MILLHOUSE CUPPINGTON

Cuppy Millhouse Cuppington was born June 3, 1977 in Bozeman, MT the only child of Mug and Tippie Cuppington. As a kid when he wasn't in school, Cuppy was helping out on his parents' horse ranch in the mountains of Montana. Cuppy spent his days herding cattle and horses through the mountains and helping his parents with chores on the ranch. By the age of 18 Cuppy had become a terrific rider and was a champion in the town's annual rodeo. Cuppy loved to ride horses more than anything, especially his favorite horse Cromwell Biscuit. Cuppy and Mr. Biscuit were inseparable and Cuppy loved to spend his days riding Mr. Biscuit through the fields and lying by the stream with him, enjoying the day.One day Cuppy came home from school and ran out to the stables to get Mr. Biscuit and go for their usual afternoon ride. When Cuppy reached the stable his parents, Mug and Tippie, were there waiting for him. They told him that Mr. Biscuit had gotten out of his stable and had run away. Cuppy ran out of the stable and spent the whole night searching for Mr. Biscuit, but he never found him. Cuppy was heart-broken and decided he would never ride again. Everything on the ranch reminded Cuppy of Mr. Biscuit and he missed him so much. Eventually Cuppy decided he wanted to go away to college and leave the ranch so he could move on and forget about Mr. Biscuit. Cuppy packed his things, said goodbye to his parents and moved to Florida to go to college at the University of West Florida. Cuppy loved his new home and school and did very well, eventually graduating first in his class with a degree in Mascot Dancing.Cuppy decided to spend some time traveling before he went to work. He visited many places including Paris, Egypt, London and Niagara Falls. By 2001, Cuppy decided he had seen so much of the world he was ready to begin his career in Mascot Dancing. He knew he wanted to find the best place to work, a place where he could have fun and meet friendly, nice people on the go. That's when Cuppy got into the coffee business. After dancing for several coffee houses, Cuppy was ready to open his own place. That once small little coffee house with the fun-loving dancing cup is now known as Cuppy's Coffee.Cuppy wasn't satisfied with a desk job, so today he can be seen all over the country and the world dancing at his locations!
