The Captain
“Richie" is one of the two co-founders of The Hidden Sea. He’s a 4th generation grape grower, with over 25 years with his family enterprise. As an avid ocean kayaker, kite surfer, and paddle boarder, he’s seen firsthand the relative destruction plastic waste has brought to ecosystems around the world. The Hidden Sea mission was born from this experience. From 1997–2007 Richie played for the Hawthorn Football Club in the AFL, achieving Captain from 2005–2007.
The Head of Talking (and 2nd coolest founder)
After a decade of business success, serial entrepreneur Justin was touted by The Age Newspaper as one of the Top 30 people who influenced Victoria, AUS in 2006.
“We’re all citizens of the world, and there's only the one ocean. We’re all made from the same material, and revert back to the same material. We have an important role to play as we are all interconnected via the world’s oceans.
I have a cheeky saying... Maybe it’s not my plastic, but it's my planet.”
The Mastermind
As an artist and designer, Jon imparts his unique style on The Hidden Sea—just as he’s done for the likes of Nike,
