Two friends, Lewis Hamer and Lukas Gilkey, who both served in the U.S. Coast Guard, started a company selling handcrafted goods to stores in Austin, Texas, in 2015. Their main objective is to donate a portion of each purchase in order to aid veterans in need. Since then, they've jumped into the hemp industry and established themselves as a legitimate canna business.

Some things have remained the same even though a lot has changed since those two friends first started a business out of their North Austin home. As CEO and Vice President, respectively, Lukas and Lewis are still on board and they remain dedicated to helping their local heroes—veterans.
