Meet Our Founder

Hi, I’m Steven, the founder of "Forged By Water," and this is my story. Back in 2012 at age 5, when I picked up my first fishing rod, I knew it was the beginning of my lifelong adventure that has led me to my passion for water and fishing. Fishing has taught me values, respect and skills that go beyond fishing. I knew without a doubt, I would use this passion to make a difference, “One Angler At A Time”.

Fast forward to 2024, I’m now 17 and focused on how I can positively impact our Oceans, Rivers, and Marine life. 

 This realization led me to establish“Forged By Water”an iconic coastal fishing lifestyle company that is"Driven by Purpose and United By Conservation".

At “Forged By Water” we donate a portion of net profits of every product sold to support our “Forged By Water Foundation” a 501C-3 with our focus to“Promote, Protect, and Preserve”. By supporting our mission, you are not only cultivating a community of responsible anglers but also creating a long-lasting impact that extends far beyond today. "Forged By Water" is committed to a more sustainable future, “One Angler At A Time”.
