Upon completing her engineering graduate studies at New York University, Brittany found herself tinkering with the idea of starting a water company. With 5 years of professional experiences in the federal government and witnessing the extensive toll water scarcity and insecurity has on society through her domestic and international travels, she knew something has to change. She shared this revelation with longtime friend and environmental enthusiast, Korey, after an evening of heavy spirits.
Korey, with a professional business acumen and background in political campaigns, quickly recognized the potential in Brittany’s idea and asked her to share more details. From there, the two began putting together the building blocks to save the world's most essential resource. After accessing their skills, they knew they needed one additional team member with a very unique skill set. Korey decided to introduce Brittany to a charismatic brainiac, Xavier, who just happens to be Korey’s Fraternity and Line Brother.
Xavier is not your typical aerospace engineer- proficient in systems manufacturing and integration for space systems. Xavier is a country boy from Georgia with a jack of all trades mentality. Once this team came together as a unit for the first time they knew they were onto something disruptive and transformative. All three share a passion for eradicating the global water crisis because they come from the very communities who bear the brunt end of environmental injustice.
