Vice President,

As a saddle maker and a horseman I always knew how important minerals were, especially when it came to horses. I had known this for many years – I mean which horse lover doesn’t?
But it was during the 90’s while I was travelling through Texas that it became apparent just how important minerals are to me as well. It was during these travels that I first came across Gerry Amena’s Sea Minerals. I subsequently bought all I could carry with me.
Eventually, as my reserves of sea minerals started running low I decided to track down Gerry Amena - not only for the purpose of buying more sea minerals for myself, but with the added intention of working with and promoting sea minerals as well.
Gerry almost sounded disinterested and gave me the number for his friend Nick Tokovic adding: I’m too busy to help you – but if Nick can help you then we’ll do business. I soon found out that Gerry was anything but disinterested.
Seamineral.com, Inc was formed shortly after.
In 2009 I finally had the opportunity to travel to Queensland, Australia and visit our enrichment facility and warehouse which was by this time being overseen by Nick - but the greatest pleasure was had in the time I spent with Gerry Amena on his farm where he passed down decades of knowledge. It was only a few months later that Gerry was to pass on.
Minerals and trace elements are an essential component of a complex nutritional matrix in horses and people alike. But in plants, crops and even soil they are absolutely crucial. In plants, minerals & trace elements are actually food, and key in the production of every other nutrient and phyto-chemical that we source from plants. Minerals are also a key component of healthy and active soil.
With this in mind I am dedicated to further promoting sea minerals along with our president Nick Tokovic and our team of friends and GroPAL dealers both here in the United States and all over the world.
