OK. OK. OK. So what the heck is REALLY going on with Snoloha? I’ve heard the rumblings. What’s really going on is that I’m really done being a t-shirt company. ‘Twas never meant to be that way in the first place. I’ve been doing this for a long time. Inventory can be a killer. Ask any retailer.… Continue reading Remember When

Better Chance of Landing on the Moon
I’ve been quiet here on the Barefoot & Exposed blog. Partly due to ‘blog writing block’ and partly due to just being busy. I recently wrote a blog post for my friends over at Great Lakes Sailing Co., who I happen to also work with. I thought I’d repost here since it’s Snoloha and sailing… Continue reading Better Chance of Landing on the Moon
I Love the Polar Vortex
It’s true. I love the Polar Vortex. It’s not because I’m some sadistic weirdo. It’s because I’m weird. Snoloha is weird. And not everyone gets it. But I’m pretty sure more people do now. I know they do. Just look at the news coverage and the content online. My favorite Associated Press headline that I’ve… Continue reading I Love the Polar Vortex
Don’t do it. Don’t blink
I wonder if Jimmy Buffett ever feels like a walking contradiction?! I hope the answer is yes, because that’s how I sometimes feel. It takes a ton of work and worry to build a successful brand that is based on the premise of ESCAPISM. See what I mean…it’s contradictory. And to build the empire that… Continue reading Don’t do it. Don’t blink
A Snoloha Hunt
Growing up, I hunted a little. The most recent hunting trip for me, was in my early 20’s. I went with my dad and uncle…mostly just to please dad. After they showed me ‘my spot’ and tramped through the snow to their respective blinds, I was left to my own devices. I should have loaded… Continue reading A Snoloha Hunt

And for every… Continue reading Build a SnoMon, I’ll Donate, You Could Win.
Caribbean Yacht Charters – The Ultimate Escape
The ultimate escapism plan. The reason this brand exists. The beginning of the end for some (in a good way). The nail in the coffin for others (in a good way). Yes, the Caribbean. A temptress drawing us in with her beaches, sailing, palm trees, laid-back limin’ vibe and her ability to completely erase all worries…at… Continue reading Caribbean Yacht Charters – The Ultimate Escape
Escape & Win
As I’ve mentioned before, when I had that office job from hell I relied on a photo of the Virgin Islands sitting on my desk to help me get through the day. Times have changed, including no longer working at that job. Now, when things get hectic and overwhelming, I still look at a photo… Continue reading Escape & Win
Cubicle Escapism
I’ve had my fair share of horrible jobs. And I’ve had my share of story-worthy departures. Ask me sometime about the ‘bathroom break’ I once took…I imagine George Costanza quitting a job the same way. Before launching Snoloha, I had an office job that could have been the inspiration for ‘Office Space’. It was pure… Continue reading Cubicle Escapism
‘SUP with Snoloha
It was nice to setup the Snoloha booth for the day at the TC Waterman Expo. I had the opportunity to meet some great folks, sold some shirts, listened to Buffett on the Stereo Cooler, got a little sunburn…and some sore knees from standing all day. Yup, “I’m growing older but not up.”

“Living my life like a song.”
Story-telling truly is an art form…especially when you set them to music and are able to take people along on your journey. I don’t have that musical ability. But I like to think that Snoloha is my story-telling medium. And this past weekend at Comerica Park for the Jimmy Buffet “Lounging’ at the Lagoon” concert… Continue reading “Living my life like a song.”
