John was retired from a life as a helicopter pilot and military diver when he met Autumn on a dive boat in Key Largo. John and Autumn were diving in Palau together when they noticed the fateful sunscreen oil slick coming off a group of snorkelers and have been together since. Passionate about protecting our waters, he has helped scale our operations, from setting up Autumn’s lab in the barn, to streamlining 2000-pound batches and high-speed tube filling in our FDA regulated facility. When not in production, you can often find John hanging out with his chickens and dogs or having fun on a dive boat anywhere in the world.
