About Martin:
Martin showed entrepreneurial tendencies at an early age, and even designed, printed and sold greeting cards before starting kindergarten. As a youth, Martin surfed along the California Coast, and this activity makes a person very hungry. So his passions for eating and love of the ocean began to merge. After much brainstorming and proposal writing, he founded i love blue sea shortly after graduation from college. He partnered with the Monterey Bay Aquarium and their prestigious Seafood Watch program to sell only approved sustainable seafood. This way, technology could be used to bring the highest quality seafood to people across the United States and also help to protect our oceans and waterways.
