My name is Jason Maddox and I am the founder of The Sand and Sea Foundation, a 501(c)3 & 1101.01 Nonprofit founded in Puerto Rico and Dedicated to the preserving of our Oceans and our Shoreline.
I grew up on the floor of a dive shop since I could walk, I went to school on the Atlantic Ocean, I went on vacations to the Caribbean Ocean, I went to Work on the Pacific Ocean, I was married back on the Caribbean Ocean, Had Children on the Pacific Ocean, And now live with my Family On the Caribbean Ocean in Puerto Rico. As you can see the Ocean is my life. And I created The Sand and Sea Foundation to protect this way of life for our next generation and those that come after it.
