Born of Muddy Waters and Light Beer Dreams
From the heart of the sticks—if such a place can even be pinned on a map—came a man shaped by the nature. A river rat at heart, I was raised on sunshine, shoals, and the kind of imagination captured by 2 too many beers and pipe dreams. My story isn’t just mine; it’s written in the ripples of any river that welcomes my journey. It’s in the clink of cans cracked open with friends, and in the quiet moments of solitude when nature reminds us to breathe.
The third funniest of my friends and the second coolest of three brothers (still up for debate), I’ve always known one thing: life is better when shared. Whether it’s a tube float on a lazy summer day or swapping stories over a potluck, my joy is best had when shared.
My journey has wandered far—from Soda City to the Holy City and now to Atlanta’s sprawling canopy—but it always circles back to the water. The Chattahoochee isn’t just where I play; it’s where I think, dream, and scheme. It’s where Hooch Daddy was born.
So, what is Hooch Daddy?
Hooch Daddy isn’t just a brand—it’s a way of life. It’s about embracing in life’s simple joys: cold beer in hand, feet dipped in a cool river, surrounded by people who put genuine smiles on your face. It’s about respecting nature while reveling in its beauty. It’s about finding magic in muddy waters and meaning in every float trip.
The name came on one of those slow-flow days when the river was low but spirits were high. As I pushed tubes through shallow shoals like some self-appointed river guide, someone dubbed me “Hooch Daddy.” It stuck—and so did the idea that this wasn’t just a nickname; it was an identity waiting to be shared.
Why We Exist
Hooch Daddy is my creative outlet—a place to tell stories, share art, and celebrate everything that makes life by the water so special. It’s for anyone who feels at home under open skies, who knows that light beer tastes better kissed by the sun, and who believes that good times are meant to be passed around like a well-loved koozie.
This is more than just my story—it’s ours. Whether you’re here for inspiration, laughs, or sheer boredom, you’re part of this adventure now. So grab a cold one, kick back, and let’s make some waves together.
