What's up? I'm Hank and I love the ocean and fixing things.  I'm a lifelong artist, musician, and tinkerer. I grew up surfing in Virginia Beach, and got into kitesurfing  while living in Santa Cruz, CA in 2010.  I'm an adventure junkie and have vanlife traveled the country on and off for a decade in pursuit of rad locations to surf, kite, skate, rock climb, and downhill mountain bike.  I am stoked to now call Hatteras Island home.  I'm a jack of all trades and consider myself MacGyver's long lost cousin.  I studied Industrial Design at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas in San Antonio.  I am a skilled metal fabricator and Tig welder that has worked in the automotive performance industry designing forced induction systems for racing applications.  I then learned to sew and made rad, hardcore gear that is used daily by thousands of people around the world.  I have worked in retail management, production catering for the movie industry, and driven massive forklifts at a marina drystack facility.  I owned and operated a coral farming business supplying aquarium stores and hobbyists with homegrown corals. I am also an FAA part 107 licensed commercial drone pilot. I am excited to combine my interests and skills into our new project, OBX Remix.  I look forward to meeting you and helping get you back on the water to keep getting awesome with your rad self.  Aloha.
