Ocean Poke Co. is the brainchild of four Phoenix natives, Ahrendt, Chris Mercato, Charles Richardson and Brian Delia. All three are successful entrepreneurs in varying industries.

“We have managed many businesses in the natural health industry, and I know this will help impact Ocean Poke Co. for the positive,” said Richardson.
