After building and selling a successful marine industry business over the course of fifteen years, life shifted quickly. What first felt like a setback became an opportunity to step back, refocus, and spend meaningful time with family. It was a season of reflection that brought clarity: the joy had always been in building, creating, and connecting with people, not simply running a company.

As new ideas began to take shape, one truth kept rising to the surface — the strongest businesses are built around shared experiences. In the marine world, that connection came from water, fishing, family, and time spent outdoors.

During that pause, a simple morning ritual sparked something new. Coffee isn’t just a drink; it’s a daily gathering point. It brings people together, starts conversations, and fuels the moments that matter.

Diving into the world of coffee revealed the care, craftsmanship, and community behind every bean — and it felt familiar in all the right ways.

Drink Conch represents a return to what matters most: meaningful work, great people, and products made with intention. Built alongside close friends and trusted partners, the brand reflects a shared passion for quality, connection, and experience. Every roast is crafted with the same care we bring to our relationships and our craft, because we believe what you pour into your cup should be as genuine as the moments it creates.
