After years of unwittingly riding fresh powder atop the same ski slopes, two adrenaline enthusiasts would eventually join forces to bottle the best powderbased supplements in the business. As athletes themselves, founders Sean Lake and TJ Ferrara created BUBS Naturals on the basis of a simple mission: “Feel Great. Do Good.” Their topnotch supplements backed by philanthropic values do just that.
In their prior careers, Lake and Ferrara both worked in the snowboarding industry, unknowingly attending the same events and trade shows. After years of shared interests in action sports and strong backgrounds in marketing, the two finally crossed paths at a Navy SEAL Fit Camp in 2014 and reconnected the next year to spontaneously embark on their new business venture. While hanging out over a casual cup of coffee, Ferrara noticed a jar of collagen supplements sitting on Lake’s countertop. A fairly new concept at the time, Lake raved about the noticeable positive impacts collagen had on his athleticism. “It was absolutely transformative for me. I would run marathons, had been in the action sports world for a long time and did a lot of CrossFit and SEAL Fit stuff; I’ve put a lot of miles on my body, and collagen really helped me get back in the game.” 60 LOCALE MAGAZINE
