THE STORY
Built on friendship.
“I've always believed the best businesses begin with a simple idea and a genuine purpose.”
As a mechanical engineer with an MBA, I've spent my career solving problems, building businesses, and finding better ways to improve the things people use every day. From launching my engineering consulting firm, Gnari Garage, to investing in real estate and other ventures, I've always been driven by one question: How can I create something that truly makes a difference?
I never imagined that answer would come in the form of a hydration drink.
One day, my close friend Olin Pettit handed me a drink his wife had been making for their family. Olin and his son drank it before every MMA training session to stay hydrated, recover faster, and perform at their best.
One sip was all it took. It wasn't overloaded with artificial ingredients or weighed down by an overly sweet taste. It was clean, refreshing, and exactly what hydration should feel like.
In that moment, I looked at Olin and said, “We have to share this with more people.”
THAT CONVERSATION CHANGED EVERYTHING.
What started as a homemade drink shared between friends became a mission to create a hydration product people could actually trust—one that tastes incredible, supports performance and recovery, and fits seamlessly into everyday life. Whether you're pushing through an intense workout, working long hours, spending time outdoors, or simply trying to feel your best, hydration shouldn't be an afterthought. It should help you perform, recover, and live better.
Every can of Gnari Hydration represents countless hours of testing, refining, and perfecting. We refused to settle until we created something we'd proudly drink ourselves and confidently share with our families.
Gnari Hydration isn't just another beverage on the shelf. It's the result of friendship, hard work, and the belief that when you build something with integrity and purpose, people can taste the difference.
