Growing up near the Jersey Shore, my family and I spent countless days in and around the ocean. As I got older and moved away, I realized how much those memories shaped my love for the ocean and the life in and around it.
That passion is a big part of why I created Currents & Critters. I wanted to build something fun that also gives back - helping support ocean cleanup and conservation so future generations can experience clean, healthy, and abundant oceans the same way I did growing up.
