Puddle Pirate

In 2013 I was a Coast Guard veteran who couldn't find gear worth wearing. The existing merch was poor quality, worse design, and didn't reflect the pride the service deserved. So I built something that did. Puddle Pirate Co. started as a personal frustration and became a decade-long creative enterprise. After ten years of building and running the company, the time had come to let it spread its wings. I was fortunate enough to sell it to an eager and dedicated fellow Coastie who's now running with the torch.
