Founded in Aptos, California in 2025.
As a lifelong outdoor athlete, artist and designer, I have wanted to wear casual apparel that reflected a passion for being in the wild, whether scrambling up to a mountain ridge, freediving above a coral reef or railing a berm on my favorite local trail. Aptos Ranch is my vehicle for executing that vision.
My message is one of union. In a world increasingly focused on our differences, I want to convey the message that unity is strength. All outdoor athletes recognize the rejuvenating power of nature, whether you shop at REI or Bass Pro or your local bike shop. Whether you spend hours or weeks watching weather forecasts, swell reports, scouting game trails, mapping routes, repairing berms or tying flies.
If our fragmented wilderness community chooses to come together in recognition of our common values to protect our public lands and wild places, we can ensure that wilderness thrives and that wilderness access is protected from the unrelenting threats of irresponsible development and poor government policy.
In this spirit, we financially support conservation organizations that are informed by science and make meaningful impacts towards protecting and expanding the places we cherish - North America’s public wildlands.
Respectfully,
Aptos Ranch is an apparel brand formed at the intersection of art, sport and conservation.
Founder & Creative Director
We source recycled and organic materials, produced close to home as much as possible…but not nearly as much as we’d like to.
…Because the apparel supply chain is far more restrictive and fragmented than we realized when starting this venture. However, we are constantly working to improve what goes into our products and where they get made. Our long term goal is for fully recycled and organic North American made apparel to dominate our portfolio - and we won’t stop trying until we achieve it.
