Our Story

I grew up in North County San Diego, spending my days skating around town and chasing waves with friends. That world shaped who I am, how I think, and how I live. It eventually led to a 20 year career designing shoes in the surf and skate industry, starting at DC Shoes and ending with a long run at Reef.

As golf slowly crept its way back into my life over the years, I eventually started looking to upgrade my gear from my dad's old Ping Eye 2's and a pair of Vans. But when I went searching for golf shoes to buy, I couldn't find anything I actually wanted to wear. Too athletic. Too formal. Uncomfortable. Bad style.

So I did what any reasonable person would do, quit my job and decided to make my own...

I took everything I learned building shoes for 20 years, combined it with the coastal aesthetic I love, and built something engineered for the course but designed for everyday life too.

The result: Seagrass. Clean, comfortable golf shoes built with the most sustainable materials available. Something you can walk 18 holes in and wear out to dinner. Throw on in the morning, check the surf, and head straight to the course.

When Worlds Collide

First Love - Surfing

This photo is from a few years back. Made the trip down to Salina Cruz with a crew of close friends. We scored perfect waves, surfed until our arms fell off, and washed it all down with tacos and cervezas.

 

I think there were 8 of us sleeping in the same tiny room for a week, laughing the night away, and I wouldn't change a thing. We still talk about how much fun that trip was. We gotta go back...

New Obsession - Golf

This shot is from a Friday morning round at Torrey in 2022 maybe? I brought a film camera and my friend Jeremy snapped this shot of me on the tee of the iconic hole #3 on the South Course.

 

I was supposedly "working from home" that morning, and was in a meeting at the time, hence the earbuds. Sums up my thoughts on Friday morning meetings…
