Erin is an essential part of our team at Hoopers Island Oyster Co, working as our Hatchery Technician. Her primary focus is overseeing our hatchery and nursery production, as well as working alongside Solar Oysters on their innovative Solar Oyster Production System. Erin graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 2024, where she honed her expertise in marine biology and aquaculture. Her passion for sustainable aquaculture led her to Matunuck Oyster Farm in Matunuck, RI, where she gained invaluable hands-on experience in oyster farming. On days that Erin isn't tending to the seed, you can catch her cheering on her Boston Bruins!

Inspired by generations of watermen – and motivated to help restore the Chesapeake Bay in his career – Jordan spent summers at the University of Maryland’s Horn Point Laboratory. Working side by side with scientists, he learned to spawn and raise oysters while earning a biology degree from Salisbury University. Prior to starting BOE, Jordan held a variety of positions including Nursery Manager and Oyster Production Manager for Hoopers Island Oyster Company. As CEO, he oversees daily operations within Blue Oyster and Hoopers Island Oyster, including credit aggregation and grow out operations. On days that Jordan isn't on the farm, you can find him shooting over par at the local golf course or coaching his son's T-ball team.
