My name is Adam Hays. I grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida, where my love for the outdoors first began. After earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Florida, I moved back home and realized I enjoyed using what I had learned to solve problems I encountered in my own outdoor pursuits.

I started Hayo to create and share solutions that improve the experiences of like-minded people. Every product begins as a solution to a real problem I've experienced myself, then goes through countless hours of design, prototyping, and testing with my dive partners before I ever offer it to someone else.
Every accessory is designed and manufactured by me in Florida, and that's something I take great pride in. Thank you for supporting a small business. Every order helps me continue developing innovative products for the outdoor community.
