A little about me

Hi, I’m the Austin.

I grew up as a military kid and moved around a lot. Because of that, I was always starting over — new schools, new places, new people. It wasn’t always easy, but it taught me how important relationships are and how special it is to have something that stays with you.

Now living in Oahu, I’ve built a life that feels like home. I love being active, exploring new places, and trying things I’ve never done before. I’m happiest when I’m outside, moving, and experiencing something new.

Golden Tide grew from that part of me — the part that values connection and also loves adventure. Permanent jewelry feels meaningful because it’s something you don’t take off. It stays with you through everyday life, big moments, and new chapters.

I started this business because I love creating pieces that hold meaning for people. It’s simple, personal, and something you can carry with you wherever life goes next.
