BRENDAN LANDRY
Head of Sourcing

Brendan is all about fish and fishermen. Since graduating from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in Health Management and Policy, he has wanted to work with the seafood industry. Brendan got his first taste while working for New Hampshire Community Seafood before doing experiential marketing at Pierce Promotions in Portland, ME. Today, Brendan works with fishermen to secure high quality local seafood, including collaboratively finding ways to improve handling and logistics. When he’s not on a boat with a commercial fisherman, Brendan is still likely found on the water recreationally fishing.

SEAN RIGLER
Business Development

Sean has seen how a thriving seafood industry can support small port towns and how those towns are impacted when the industry moves away. As someone who grew up on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and spent 20 years in seafood restaurants and retailers, he knows the importance of small boat fishing to communities and small business. Today, he is using that knowledge to bring the seafood industry back to small boat fishing. Connecting and teaching customers about the captains and boats that put themselves on the line daily to bring in exceptional, and often underappreciated, seafood. When he's not talking to customers in a market you can usually find him on a boat with his wife and kids.
