They say opposites attract but the founding fathers of Bureo have a lot in common... Likes: surfing, skateboarding, engineering degrees, travel, Australia, their home on the East Coast of the States.... Dislikes: ocean plastics, wilting away in a stuffy corporate job. After graduating as engineers all three of the Bureo founders Ben Kneppers, Kevin Ahearn and David Stover found themselves hunting for waves in Australia. They hit it off because of the aforementioned similarities and decided to start a company. A company that first tackled the problem of ocean plastic, then created a product that they would actually use.
