I'M A NURSE, A MOM OF FIVE, THE PERSON BEHIND APPALACHIAN SURF, I HAVE AWAYS LOVED BEING OUTDOORS- HIKING IN THE N.C. MOUNTAINS, SPENDING THE DAY ON THE BEACH, GROWING HERBS, PLAYING IN THE DIRT... YOU GET THE POINT.

I PLACE VALUE IN NATURE AND LOVING AND CARING FOR OTHERS. THOSE TWO PRINCIPLES HAVE SHAPED SO MUCH OF MY LIFE, FROM RAISING MY CHILDREN TO BECOMING A NURSE AND EVENTUALLY- STARTING THIS COMPANY. I BELIEVE WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER AND OUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. THAT CARIES OVER INTO THE PRODUCTS I MAKE AND WHAT I CHOOSE TO BRING INTO MY SHOP. APPALACHIAN SURF IS A COLLECTION OF THINGS I VALUE- NATURE, COMMUNITY, CRAFTSMANSHIP, SUSTAINABILITY, KINDNESS, AND A LITTLE BIT OF ADVENTURE.
