Our Story..
Back in 2002, I had the stressful opportunity to apply, interview & be hired for my first job as a police officer. After the process I was in desperate need of a vacation which, even though pre-planned was impeccable timing & came in the form of a trip to Aruba.
With the now "Mrs Mahi Mike", I walked off the plane and onto an escalator at Aruba International Airport for the first time. Once through the airport doors and into the Caribbean air, instantly, the stress free beach bum, Coconut Rum drinking me known as "Mahi Mike®" was born.
"Mahi Mike®" continued to grow into a no worries, stress free attitude & lifestyle. We talked at length about turning this nickname into much more. We came up with "Mahi Mike® Sportswear" to express the lifestyle we love in creative, comfortable threads. We had a logo drawn & started to use it with the name on little custom things.
Early on & even now, we're mocked & laughed at a little about our vision. We even had "friends" inquire about buying our merchandise as gag gifts for Yankee swaps & Secret Santa's. That has only strengthened our drive & determination to create an authentic lifestyle brand that truly embodies the love we have for the beach, golf, fishing, & surfing.
I have dedicated nearly 20 years of my life to other people, most of whom I don't even know. But hopefully my desire for a worry free, endless summer style life will carry me through for now.
Though life is difficult & times can be tough, we strive to remain loose & fun. It is a challenge, and we can only hope that this type of lifestyle & attitude will trickle down to our 3 kids & prove, that if you feel strongly & passionately enough about something, you can be whoever or whatever you want to be.
