My Mission

More seafood into more kitchens.

Teachers of patience, serenity, and respect; our world’s oceans are a cure for much of our societal and personal ailments; either of the soul, the body, or the mind.

From the gentle ebb and flow of the tides to the growling unstoppable power of an ocean storm; the oceans abound with energy and life.

As alien as the distant reaches of outer-space for many, and a home for the few; there is a deep chasm that has estranged the many from the ocean’s message.

While for many there is a long journey before they pierce the water’s surface, the oceans can reach into their lives and offer its qualities through its boundless nourishments.

I help tell the stories of love, joy, struggle, and resilience of the people who call it home and are stewards of its resources.

Crossing the chasm to get more seafood into more kitchens.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.
And action without a plan is a nightmare.”

The problem I want to solve

Seafood has, for the most part, stayed on the bench while other food products battle it out on the playing field; innovating their offer and communications to reach new consumers.

I see the seafood industry as stuck in an established business model that is neither relevant, necessary, nor strategic.

Businesses now have an opportunity, unlike before, to rethink their role in the supply chain and create new business models; enhancing their long term business development strategies.
