Summary
Entrepreneur Vance Vaucresson was born on December 3, 1968, in New Orleans, Louisiana to a long family history of butchers from his great grandparents. His family owned the Vaucresson Sausage Company. When Vaucresson was eight years old, he began to learn sausage-making techniques. In 1992, Vaucresson graduated from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, and returned to New Orleans to work at the family business. For six years, he worked alongside his father, Sonny. After Sonny passed away from a massive heart attack on November 1, 1998, Vaucresson took over the family business. After Hurricane Katrina rendered Vaucresson's plant nonfunctional in 2005, he collaborated with another sausage-maker to serve his sausage po'boys at that spring's Jazzfest. Vaucresson continued to run the Vaucresson Sausage Company, serving his signature po'boy at both the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the French Quarter Festival.
