ALL ABOUT ME
​
I was a water loving kid from the beginning! I grew up around it, in it, or on it!
The earliest memories I have of fishing are of me trying to catch pinfish for my dad so he can send it out under a bridge for redfish, snook, trout, or anything really... but mostly bonet heads. I remember putting the jaw of one on an ant pile overnight thinking it would be bone white the next morning. I woke up and it was gone. Raccoons. Lesson learned.
​
Surfing, however, came later while I was in the Navy serving in Hawaii. My submarine buddies and I would listen to the Good Kid, M.A.A.D City album by Kendrick. Now when I hear a song from that album, I'm back on the west side pulling up to Tracks Beach with Schoon, Koa and the usual squad (Ya'll know who you are!).
Some great times!
Naturally Salty
is for the people who find their peace by the sea. From surfing to fishing, and beach days in-between, the ocean is where we find our peace, our break, and in my case, our zen.
I love that every wave you catch is different. Each wave you ride will never be ridden again. It'll crash and you have to capitalize on your moment and make that wave proud while you're ripping on it. Never leave a wave disappointed! As for fishing, it really could be that NEXT CAST or LAST CAST! You just never know which makes it so unique. However, sight fishing is probably one of the most fun things. Seeing a fish get excited chasing your lure and altering the lure's motion to convince that fish to bite is an addiction of mine.
​
Naturally Salty started off as the YouTube sensation we see today (LOL). At the time I'm writing this, I think I have 275 subscribers. So I realized it wasn't getting out to the public like I wanted to. I loved sharing my passion of fishing and surfing on video but came up with the idea of Naturally Salty the brand as I was exiting the military. I knew in the back of my head, that was the goal. Three years later, here we are! This is the brand for surfers, fisherman, and anyone who breathes, eats, drinks, and lives that Soaked and Stoked lifestyle!
