Puddle Pirate Co.
Puddle Pirate was established on the fundamental principle that the dedicated members, past and present, of the U.S. Coast Guard deserve an exceptional apparel line that instills a profound sense of pride. Originating from a once-derogatory term for a 'Coastie,' this brand has evolved into a widely esteemed name within the service. Through skillful storytelling, I skillfully designed a lifestyle brand that authentically encompasses the Coast Guard's illustrious heritage, reverence, and the utmost honor it rightfully commands.
In October of 2013, motivated by an unwavering yearning for a product that met my own exacting standards, I embarked on the journey of founding the company. Leveraging cutting-edge marketing techniques, I skillfully expanded its reach, captivating a wider audience and fostering greater recognition. Melding the power of design with strategic marketing, Puddle Pirate Co. emerged as a venerated brand among the esteemed ranks of the Coast Guard. In the spring of 2023, I achieved a momentous milestone by adeptly selling the company, ensuring its continued growth while preserving its cherished connection within the Coast Guard family.
