This is a brief story about our CEO, Founder, and President, Kevin Corkery (US Navy FMF Corpsman Retired) from Boston, Ma. A disabled Veteran, Content Creator and Professional Call Of Duty player that retired from the US armed forced after being injured in 2018 while overseas.
Kevin then retired to go on to create content, compete in the World Series of Warzone, and begin his clothing brand the Salty Sailor Nation. He has also used a majority portion of his income to give back to the veteran community after witnessing first hand the issue we face as a whole around the country with military member's mental health and discharge journey upon leaving service. In early 2023 Upon Kevin's retirement, we almost lost him to his own mental health battle, which he has now made his life's work to give back to people like him.
As a God fearing man, Kevin is far from shy to show his love for his lord, creator, and savior Jesus Christ. He spreads the word of God as he knows, and he is prepared to defend his beliefs, anywhere, any time, and any way. Kevin has a goal to use the income he generates to build middle homes for veterans leaving the armed forces with no family, or friends to fall back on. If our country doesn't, we at the Salty Sailor Nation promise to give veterans a chance at another life.
In 2024, Kevin began Creating clothes for a merch line influenced by his streaming career. The merch was only meant to be different than other content creators/ streamers. The release was an absolute hit, and around social media, the designs he created became popular rapidly.
Upon realizing his talents in designing clothes, Kevin then hired an entire team around him to build this brand to what it is today. Employing a total of 15 people, ranging from models, marketing team, branding team, content director, and videographer (Wally, a Marine Kevin served with and best friend).
The brand has now been worn on movie sets by actors and actresses like Abbie Cobb, comedian Justin Herman, Musicians in mainstream media, NFL players, content creators, large streamers, and thousands of people around the world that either loved the design work and purchased the brand themselves or loved our story and wanted to support a cause like ours.
We like to say we aren't just a clothing brand but a family that fights TOGETHER for what is right, no matter the cost.
